Framed with dark zebra wood moulding, rag window mat, and conservation glass. Due to the pink nose on the man's face this work is a form of a self-portrait, but it does not particularly look like Rick.
Bartow's life-long college friend Ted told Charles F this story: Rick had found an old wooden row boat, and painted it up beautufilly! Ted said that it was really something to see. Rick and Ted carried the boat to the old dock across from Rick's house on Idaho Point, and Rick called the dock the Yaquina Bay Yaght Club. They lowered the boat into the water, Rick encouraged Ted to get in first, which he did, and then the boat quickly filled with water! Ted jumped back onto the dock and they watched the boat sink to the bottom, but had a good laugh.
This work was shown and sold at Jamison Thomas Gallery, Portland, OR in 1989. Jamison Thomas inventory #701
