Meditations on Color

I'm wandering down paths filled with jewels of Color! 

I play in layered fields of Color! Gone for now are the small 

ink landscapes (though they will be there Saturday at

Art in the Park, Mill Creek, South Portland.)

An earlier journey into Color.

Epiphany by Robert Natkin, acrylic on canvas.

 This painting is from Sister Wendy's Book of Meditations which  serendipitously jumped out at me from a bookshelf at the library the other day. Her meditations are all on fine art paintings. In the chapter, "Meditation on Silence", she writes about Natkin's painting:

"Only the abstract artist can attempt to show us light in itself, free from any material context. This is pure silence, the experience removed from the concrete & celebrated as a transforming peace. Epiphany is a Greek word meaning manifestation, a revelation of glory. We are not meant to understand Natkin's picture, any more that we are meant to intellectualize during our silence..."
