Additional PAINTINGS displayed at the Exhibition

'ENDURING TIME'

'MOLDERING AWAY'

There is beauty in decay! I see so much ART in old pieces of wood in old barns with their raw and worn-out look. They have a soul that seems to want to tell stories of gone by times. They remind us they were built with great sweat and affection, reflecting the dreams and heritage of their builders. I wonder at the hard but honorable work that went on inside what is now a sagging ruin.

'MELANCHOLIC STILLNESS'

‘Melancholic Stillness’ is my painted version of the Chicamocha Canyon (Santander, Colombia), which in the native Guane language means ‘Silver Thread under the Moon Light’.

'TWILIGHTS'
Acrylic & Mixed Media on Canvas

‘There is an instant at dusk
when things shine more,
a brief throbbing moment
of a slow intensity.’

From ‘There is an Instant’,
poem by Guillermo Valencia
(Colombia_1873 - 1943)

‘A LOFT WITH NO HAY’

You can still feel the smell of old hay in the old barn. Wind whistles through missing timber, but it remains a place for the sweetness of solitude, a place to hear the rain on the old tin roof as if it were music from the heavens.
