Excerpt of a quote by Lysa TerKeurst
acrylic painting - lost large canvas in progress, I worked on it at the University of Lethbridge Art Department from 1977 to 1982.
Included is a portrait of Max Ernst (one of my earliest influences), the work done in the style of the Vienna School, particularly influenced by Rudolf Hausner.
My signature painting, Selfportrait with the Critical Eye was from the same time and in that style:
Unfortunately the image of this lost painting is very poor quality, it was a bad scan from a small photograph. I tried to fix it as good as I could in Photoshop. The actual painting was quite large, about 1,5 m high. It disappeared in the early nineties. No other record of it exists. I am dropping it here with the intention to possibly use the concept and paint something similar. (Good intentions - I would need quite a few years more to actually do what is swirling around in my head).
A little bit of trivia: right bottom corner you can see the outline of a hammer head. I did the color flow on the floor, and to direct the flow I placed the hammer on the canvas.
My memory fails me - I just know the painting disappeared during a turbulent time in my life. Whether I worked on it in my studio at home (in Lethbridge, Alberta) after my studies completed, I cannot recall. There are also lots of photos from that time that are lost, both physical albums and digital copies on crashed computers and hard drives.
I discovered that scan in my files again just today, and started fixing it in Photoshop.

It's sad you lost this painting and its funny how we can do that. I had a painting I was thinking of the other day, and I saw it in an old photo from a decade ago and tried to find it in my studio backlog, only to recall I sold it a few years back. I remember I actually didn't want to sell it but then decided to after all.
I would not grieve so much over it if I sold it - that I would have remembered. No, alongside a few other pieces, it was stolen out of my house, back in 1992. Long story, and I am trying to forget it. A dark time in my life.
