Been working for days on “Window” after weeks out of the studio. It was hard to get back to it. This is the last of the pandemic paintings. Lots of hidden numbers and meanings … and hopefully, if I do my job properly, you will react to the image and not its codified secrets. This painting is about the totality of the time. Patriotism … in all its incarnations, our central-beautiful symbol, red white and blue, innocent and believing. Stuck inside with the sky and the earth (blue and green) as interiors … and outside …. is this yellow strangeness. I have not added yet the prayer flags, dragons in flight… a personally loving symbol that my South Carolina mill village neighbors call China Flags. Still working … the idea is fixed, but the execution is likely to evolve.
