Allan started this commission last year, got interrupted by other work, got interrupted by a move, got interrupted by a trip to Malaysia, but the piece is now done. A commissioned painting, it shows KU Medical Center in the background, while in the foreground three young doctors in scrubs are going to lunch on 39th, some dude (possibly a corrupt version of me), is browsing the books at Prospero’s, and an ambulance is headed west (not a literary allusion).
Palette knife work, it’s bright yet understated, like most of Allan’s paintings. We hung it in the new Cancer Center.
