2013. Lac O studio, sometime today.
#3, May 3013.
The text is
“YOU TOO”,
because the painting is a coffin with corpse.
sunset.
Some notes…
After every sunset comes a sunrise,
But come sometime that sunrise is not for you.
And every springtime like this one now
Is followed by an autumn like that past
And that by a springtime again
But comes a time that springtime
Won’t be yours.

Sunrise, sunset
The world goes on
When after you’re gone. |

The text reads...
“So many sunsets all your years of life”
May 12, 2013.
Lac O studio, afternoon.
I must paint every sunset until the last one.
But I won’t know which one that will be
Because I will be dead and won’t see it.

#5, May 2013 became “Sunset to
Twilight to Dark.”
“Violet, a cooled-red both in the physical and spiritual sense,
possesses an element of frailty, expiring sadness. This colour is
considered proper for dresses of older women, as the Chinese actually
use it as the colour of mourning. It is similar to the sound of an
English horn, the shepherds flute, or the deep, low tone of wood
instruments (for example, a bassoon).”
The
violet it that tiny touch at the crevice between the black on the
right and the raw umber at the bottom.

May

I heard,
“Dawn comes, the river flows.”
When will I get dawn?

#6 May 2013.
Dawn, a
smear of blood in the dust
and the river of life pours down.

May
21, 2013. Lac O studio, late afternoon.
#7 May 2013.
I heard,
“It came to an end
Dead in the dust”
And so I
painted it.
A
little later
This first step is maybe all there is.
Don’t fuss it anymore.
And
then a thought for another painting…
Too much is lost beyond recovery
Too much is broken beyond repair |

The text
says...
So much breaks
never fixed
So much lost
never found
So much born
always dies
So many dawns
always sunset
So much is
comes all to dust

May 23, Lac O studio, night
An idea
for the next painting—
"Ashes
to ashes
Dust to dust."
An
equilateral triangle, with ashes to ashes, dust to dust in the center,
and on the left side “We were,” on the right, “We are,” and on the
bottom, “We will be.”
Looking
at all of the May paintings on the studio wall, I heard…
“What a thing. How optimistic.”
