This one came out of nowhere. I immediately jotted it down while wondering about a friend who past away.

Lately I’ve been thinking,  titles complete a piece. The whole thing came together pretty fast along with a title, much in gear.

Beginning to understand one another, frozen in a millisecond, gathering information, finding out something that makes life clear, are some of the thoughts  that  this image brought up. I painted it as a response to what I had drawn.

The sketch was done a while ago in 2008 and I didn’t start painting it until 2010.

Kept this to a minimum. The intent kind of crept up on me. It’s this constant dream of a room you can go to before entering  another dimension, like a way station.  I refused to finish it all the way because I wanted the colors and textures to never stop pounding.

lights

Getting the head and rear lights to glow red and white seemed to be on my mind as a most important element.



I wanted to lead your Eye to what appears to be a bed and nightstand, so then the space opens up to a room with a view of an orange sunset.
