Excerpted from Breon O'Casey, Scolar Press 1999
These painting posts are especially for Sophie, who's finishing up a couple of huge projects
just about now, and has been engaging herself
and many others of us, in a wonderful conversation about
form, color, pattern, texture, positive and negative space
layered realities, and the role of nature in our art making and in our lives. (Oh, and edges! Did I mention edges? Which are some of my favorite things in painting.)
Soon, I hope she'll get a chance to put her feet up and just enjoy. (Before she sprints off on another huge endeavor/adventure which I can't help but think must come her way).

I'm only about two months behind on blog reading (on account of our internet situation here) and have been meaning to come over here for ages, and whaddya know, this first post up top just made my day and TOTALLY inspired me. Was not familiar with Breon O'Casey's beautiful work. THANK YOU for such a wonderful post.
