Friends (After the Chinese)



Two figures against muted gray green--a field, in the atmospheric sense--reaching in, perhaps. Personalities distinct, even in silhouette--one more upright, the other dark and tentative. Parallels or contradictions...even at this tiny scale--their lives played out before us in touches of wash...

An opening, too--one that occured in the painting itself. Brush moves around, creates a home--more shelter than limitation. Clouds, cold breeze--late in the fall...

Last night, with Ahron--sound of the violin and guitar. His confidence, launching in to each new melody. The ones I've taught him as well-- Wildwoodflower, Wind and the Rain--along with Vivaldi, Rossini, Suzuki...

Two friends...
