I love the red duck! (I expected a line in French, below it, asserting "this is not a duck" :->)
(ceci n'est-ce pas un canard?)
The colors in this painting just knock me out! Gorgeous. And reading the lyrics to Series of Dreams is like dreaming itself. Every line a memory of something not yet risen to the surface.
yes to the gorgeous colors.
yes to the French translation - I hereby formally attest its correctness, you may remove the question mark:-)
and yes to truth slanting through the slats
or else, watch out!
have a good one.
love your red duck painting, very nice and too I love the John Muir quote and Bob, love Bob! thank you!
This is a wonderful blog. The paintings I have seen so far have really knocked me out and the photos are marvellous too. Plus..you're a big Bob fan! I'll be back.
I like everything in this post. Unfortunately, I'll have to come back later to elaborate.
Cool, cool, cool.
Love this post and this piece of yours is fantastic! I agree, your use of color is wonderful and you KNOW I'm all about color.
