Notes: PROPERTY OF NEW YORK COLLECTORS
I have the objects, ketchup bottles, salt and pepper shakers and napkin holders all over my studio, so I can refer to them as I get involved in the painting process. I like working from a two dimensional image and translating it into a painting that gives the illusion of three dimensions. After a time I refer to the photos less and less and allow the painting to develop in terms of itself.
- Ralph Goings, 2004
