Last week I said goodbye to a few of my paintings, including my favorite which I had until recently kept stored in my personal collection, Projection in Bear Arms. It was a painting I had worked on through three studio transitions until I finally finished it in my fourth and current studio, here at Borough, in 2007. It was the first painting I finished in Vermont, actually, and one of its details provides the image for this website's homepage. "Projection..." has always been magical to me, and it's also huge. By the time I finished framing it it met my eyebrows. It was going to a great new home, though, so off we and a huge rental van trucked, down to nyc through lots of rain, lots of lightning; many friends, many, many late night laughs.
The first photo looks kind of funny reflected in the new yoga mirrors (the new entrance to Borough is a yoga/tai chi studio...entering and exiting is so awkward now; without fail, I almost always time my arrival right in the middle of a class), but you get the idea.
In the spirit of farewell, here's the writing that went along with this, my most sentimental painting, which was all about whimsical l-l-l-love and goodbyes. Every time I looked at this painting, I still felt the words, "...and moments that make you want to crawl inside another as every one of their breaths is a promise of feeling so vivid forever". Read it after the jump (Read More).
