Standing There

The Story:

“Standing There”  I don’t know why exactly but I enjoy seeing someone put together clothing that steps up and out of everyday life and begins to speak to the gods of art.

I remember being in Paris writing, I was very young, and I saw a woman get out of a taxi.  Her outfit was a rich yellow, everything right down to the designs on her shoes were so perfectly matched and coordinated, it was like getting hit by a force of some kind.  The saying, “Took my breath away,” is actually a real thing.  The whole experience lasted only a moment, as she exited the taxi and entered a building. Yet, Here I am these many, many years later telling you about her.

Even though I never met her, or ever knew her name, I still dedicate my Collection of painted poems to her in a quiet, thankful way.  She taught me that there is indeed, walking – talking art.

Profiles of Quiet Contemplation Collection: 

"Standing There" holds the figure in eternal presence.  Triangles frame the stance; texture whispers endurance.  The canvas is a poem of simply being—quiet, profound, inviting the viewer to stand there too.
