James' Idea

I met a man. One of those friend of a friend online kind of meetings. His intentions were artistic. He was recruiting twelve artists to create pieces of art for a show he plans to have at his home. I think it might be an excuse to have a dinner party and to gather creative people in one place. I was honored to have been asked to make art and to be in the company of others, like me, who still do this. He presented me with an 18 x 18 canvas and I admit, I did not immediately get to work. I pondered. I pondered some more. I drank some vodka. I pondered some more. I may have even pondered some more. I did, eventually do a painting for James. This is the result.
