My mind is still in the past

The following work was done about 1970. The first piece is a print - part of which was a three-color silk screen and the other part is that textured stuff made in a printing press, but using no ink. My friend & classmate Gerry signed his name g.d.bailey at that time. The last time I saw Gerry was at a cross country meet where both our daughters were competing - about 22 years ago.
Below in a linoleum print by Dave Castano who was also a friend and classmate. I think that I saw that Dave is a woodcarver now. He was an art teacher in the public schools in Coudersport. I haven't seen him in over 35 years. M.U. graduate art student Tom K told me his Uncle Dave doesn't have a computer.

Below are two versions of one of my etchings. The first has only one color. The second has a second color.

Old drawings, young people!

While I was earning my B.S. in art education at Mansfield State College (now Mansfield University) I did a few drawings of my friends. I put Dave Castano first because I have met his nephew who is currently a graduate art student here at M.U.
Below is another drawing of Dave also done in 1971. I think that Dave taught high school art in Coudersport, PA for many, many years.

Gerry Bailey is below. After earning his B.S. he went on to earn a masters in fine art at Iowa University, I think.

This self portrait was done during my second year of teaching 1973. I had begun developing my textured paintings two years earlier. I entered the drawing in an exhibition at our local bank - I was trying to get used to my new role of teaching art to about 800 local kids.
