  • Beyond possible, the ancient artist carved out of stone continues to paint the drama of life.
    The painter is sustained by the tanks of gas. Oxygen?

    The canvases await the incredible repetition of man's folly. And of course, the entire scene is all nailed down.
    The landscape is in full bloom.
    The irony of the disarray in the foreground against bucolic nature.
    The Underpainting will bleed through…
