CACTUS AND GRASS

The Headstart program ended. I had met the owner of Greenfield Gallery. In exchange for a painting I had the use of a studio in a house he owned being refurbished. “Cactus and Grass” was the focused result.  He also owned a business school.  I wrote a speed writing course for Spanish for his school which was still in use years later. With my earnings from Headstart and the course, I purchased my aunt's van, put the lawn chair mattress in the back, and returned to NYC.
