Inspired by Santa Fe III

Description

This is my third creation in the series “Inspired by Santa Fe.” The painting is composed of two separate works: “Solar Storms” and “Lunar Breeze.” This diptych attempts to display the beautiful contrast between light and darkness, day and night, disquiet and calm, known and unknown. Some lines from Terry Tempest Williams kept burrowing in my head as I painted this: “Experience opens us, creates a chasm in our heart, an expansion in our lungs, allowing us to pull in fresh air to all that was stagnant. We breathe deeply and remember fear for what it is—a resistance to the unknown.” …

...and...

“Each day, another layer of the self sloughs off, another layer of pretense erodes.”
