India Sun

         I once had a very good friend who grew up in India.   I knew him for many years and we even contemplated going into business together.  He owned a company that cut ceramic tile and metal using high pressure water and wanted me to do the design work, but we never quit got around to it. 

        He would reminisce about his childhood and always commented on the rich culture he experienced, the wonder people he left behind and the heat of his beloved country India, yes always the heat.  It must have been very warm where he lived because it certainly left a lasting impression on him.

       

      

        With his description of his homeland and the vivid memory of how hot the summers were, I painted this piece with the tapestries of vibrant reds, oranges and yellows of the Indian sun high in the sky. He’s gone now and this painting reminds me of him, and our friendship.

        One of the great things about art, whether you paint it your self, or if you purchase it, especially abstract art,  is that you can do a whole painting around a thought or a single memory and every time you look at that painting, it will remind you of that moment.  It becomes your private thought and no one else knows what the piece really means, unless you let them know.  Every piece of art I have ever done or will do in the future has that element to it.

        The colors in this painting are warm and alive and at the same time very comforting.  They beckon you and draw you in and I'm sure that if my friend was still around,  it would surely remind him of the land that he loved.
