I am a bit busy and wasn’t planning on writing this morning but wanted to pass on a link to a blogpost from Linda Leinen, who recently submitted the winning title, Shedding Daylight, for this year’s Name That Painting! contest. In her blog, The Task At Hand, Linda talks at first about my work then segues into how she came to the title, weaving a wonderful essay on how the symbolism of the painting fit so well with her mother’s attitude as her life neared its end . It’s a beautifully written post that gives both the title and the painting an added layer of depth that I never anticipated.
Thank you again for the wonderful title, Linda, and for this lovely essay. It is most appreciated.
I agree with you; Linda is a lovely woman and writes with amazing depth and clarity. Her posts are feasts for the soul! I can thank her for pointing me in the direction of your blog as well, and it’s my loss that I’ve been missing your posts.
I love “Shedding Daylight” and all of your work!

Thanks so much. I also owe Linda for showing me your work some time back. I love the way you incorporate the mola into your work. Beautiful .
gracias as well|! the mola series of paintings was radically different from my norm, and it’s been a lot of fun marrying the seriousness of the subject matter with the relaxed style of the molas. it’s certainly nice that we enjoy what we do with each day, unlike some who are hobbled to a life that owns them!
