Joy and sorrow are inseparable…
together they come and when one sits alone with you… remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Kahlil Gibran

arriving in New Mexico…
Well! Well! Well!
This is wonderful.
No one told me it was like this!

One great thing about abstract art is that it often looks great when seen from different angles. It’s like getting 2 for 1! I rotated this several times and decided I still liked it best as it was painted. What do you think? And why?

Again, I am inspired by Hiroshi Matsumoto. His use of color. The marriage between warm, rusty earth, and soft pinkish buff. I loved this before the addition of Turquoise. I do think it adds a pop of light and juxtaposition.

My family could only afford to get me the box
of eight Crayola crayons,
but I craved the one with all 24 colours.
I wanted magenta and turquoise and silver and gold.
