BIOGRAPHY:
Self-taught, Mr. Purdy seldom used models, but works largely from remembrance, that is, from impressions certain subjects have made upon his mind. He only occasionally paints on canvas as he considers masonite to be a stronger and longer-lasting material. Preparation of the surface, although he admits to using gesso, is his own secret.
