Dear Garth,
I don't know how I missed seeing this painting of yours earlier this week. It is extraordinary and wonderful. I'm going to go back and print out what you've written about velatura. You've put living forms in a soft bath that is very appealing.
I also wanted to tell you, for what it's worth, that I had a strong emotional reaction to this painting. To lie in the sun, totally relaxed, completely protected by Moms who will die to protect you... wow! When will this level of trust and safety happen again, other than in childhood; who will ever guard us again this way?
This may not actually be what you were getting at in this painting, but this is what I got out of it. If this were to hang on my wall, I would keep this feeling whenever I looked at the painting, and that gut feeling is what would make me buy it.
