A Blast From The Past

A photo has recently been unearthed of an early work by Joseph M. Murphy. The painting was done during the artist's senior year at Canastota High School in New York State and is still on permanent display at the school. It is clearly evident that the artist's skills were just beginning to advance and have grown and refined since then. For example, when rendering the human form, he now remembers to include BOTH arms. Oh, nostalgia.
