Seeing 2012 (#92)

For your consideration:  an angular perspective of a niche I encountered at church in the foothills above Carpenteria.  Exquisitely congruent with my Sonoran native son tastes, the compound's motif was delightfully, and startlingly, southwestern, set amidst the lush foliage of the California coast.

What attracted me to this composition was the juxtaposition of the ponderous, jutting section of timber looming over the fragile beacon of light.  A welcome hint that, in times of heaviness and impending blows, there may well be hope to found. 

Never give up.

My deepest appreciation and thanks to those who honored my art and my efforts by attending the today's reception at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., library.   It was a fantastic experience for me! 

Many contributed to making the exhibit, and reception, possible:  my wife Julianna and our daughter Hannah Mae, Ryan, Jerry, Vernon, John, Ben, Cheyenne and Charles, just to name a few.  THANK YOU!
