When I look at this painting, it's like a meditation - a call to settle the mind and go to the depths where there is stillness and calm.
 
This painting has been framed in a smooth white wood slip tray framed.
Oil and cold wax slim canvas
17 x 13 inches
This painting is titled and signed on the back.
 
'Today I'm flying low and I'm
not saying a word.
I'm letting all of the voodoos of ambition
sleep.
 
The world goes on as it must,
the bees in the garden rumbling a little,
the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten.
And so forth.
 
But I'm taking the day off.
Quiet as a feather.
I hardly move though really I'm travelling
a terrific distance.
 
Stillness. One of the doors
into the temple'.
