I Should Have Known Better, 1983, original 24”x 36” oil on canvas.
In this original contemporary oil painting, "I Should Have Known Better", Stettner was influenced by Georges Seurat’s “petit point” painting method. This portrait painting could be described as a modern painting in the impressionist style. Stettner´s graceful oil painting is an astonishing achievement of tonal nuance and shape for so young a painter, as he painted this portrait prior to his enrollment at art school.
