There is nothing more comfortable than a forbidden couch, at least for Lucy. Here you see Lucy at rest with her beloved tennis ball. This painting is a sequel to “Persistence”, depicting Lucy looking under the love seat at her ball out of reach. If you look closely you will see the upholstery pattern is composed of tennis balls.

Whose art has gone to the dogs

When I was young I had two loves. The first was art and the second was animals (or was it the other way around?) At seventeen I went off to New York City with huge dreams. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts (with Honors) from Pratt Institute (NY). I also studied at other reputable schools, such as the Art Students League (NY), The School of Visual Arts (NY) and the Brian Shaw School of Art (London).

I spent the next few years in New York City striving to make art with great meaning. We can call that period “the lean years”. Next I moved to Newport, RI. There was fresh air! There were cows! I just wanted to paint cows and so I did. It was fun. It was profitable! People like cows!! Soon I had cow posters, cow calendars, cow T-shirts. I moooved (sorry) on to other animals and created a poster series, which was under my name at that time- Steinhauser, published by Arnold Art. Wild Apple Graphics became my second poster publisher.
