Snorkled my way into falling in love with Clyde’s paintings, long before we’d met…probably because he paints the atmosphere, the light on leaf, the glimmer in the heart of the earth which speaks to all of us, be it large or infinitesimal. Between a good dream at night or watching a square foot of Chihuahuan desert sand…i’d say…it’s a toss up.
Let’s feast! and ps… pass the chop sticks!
