River Bed Sep 14, 2020
“Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.” Marcus Aurelius
Painting is a visual experience, of course. But art has the power to reveal more than the eye can see. Important insights into our outer and inner worlds are discovered and divulged.
Here, a riverbed arrangement along the West River reflects an enduring truth; “The only thing that is constant is change”

So, our pup was killed this weekend by a fast moving truck that couldn’t stop….this painting and description of how fast things change is so timely…..touched my heart….beautiful.

Lovely work, Peter…and lovely and very apt quotes as well. As the old Native American proverb says:
