EBB & FLOW DIPTYCH

Private Collection

Monochromatic—one panel intense, excitingly bold, the other, peacefully commanding eloquence—truly fodder for contemplating Ebb and Flow, perhaps of life, work, play. Reflecting on my own rhythm of ebb and flow, I admit the older I grow (now 60 something) the more at ease I go about daily challenges, accomplishments, joys and sorrows—I smile, nod, whisper . . . ahhh grasshopper, ebb AND flow, nay ebb OR flow.
