A YEAR IN PAINTING
LA VITA E BREVE
L'ARTE E LUNGA
As our planet makes its journey around a star we call the Sun, I make my own journey in paintings. Each week I present some aspect of our shared life experiences through the medium of paint on canvas.
"Old men ought to be explorers"
-T.S. Eliot, The Four Quartets

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT

Untitled Study
Oil on canvas, 16" x 12"
You never saw it coming. All your life you followed the rules, work hard, serve your Country, have a family, work harder. Then you watch it fall apart all around you. Suddenly, all you know collapses. You look in the mirror and wonder where the past 30 years have gone. The disconnect is not gradual, you have become expendable, they have moved on.
Now you are alone
You are old and obsolete
They have pulled the plug
Have a nice day
