I was ‘barely old.’

by Steven McCabe

In 2015, when I did this drawing, I was ‘barely old.‘

Leonard Cohen already said the more poetic ‘almost young.’

LIttle did I know; ten years later I would have the energy to complete

my most ambitious project:

Part One (of the diptych) discussed here.

Part Two (of the diptych) discussed here.

I hope to complete my 5′ X 70′ diptych in December, January, February?

Getting close to completion but I think I’ll go offline for a while.

I am moving slowly.

After completing the visual art I will develop a fuller rationale for the work.

I will write about inspiration, process, and purpose.

And decide on a final name for the diptych.

Then look at the poetic scraps I jotted down, as they sounded to me, during the

drawing & painting.
