I'm really curious about this work. Is it sort of an anti-palimpsest? I've been told they don't really come off on-line. These are fascinating. I’m really curious about this work.

Or not opposed, but a sort of caveat. Like, a rose is a rose, but notice, a thorn is not petal is not a pistil or stamen. ‘necessitate noticing the autonomy of the parts within the whole’…would that be sort of opposed to ‘a rose is a rose is a rose’?

One could not help but be inspired,whether he was talking about Corot, Cezanne, Hofmann, or simply the coolness of a shadow as it fell across the figure in the painting studio. I am so pleased to run across his recent landscape on paper. There is such a sense of immediacy and energy in his paintings. I feel so honored to have been one of his painting students-he taught me to "see color". I was also a painting student of George Rose (SMSU ‘76).
