I begin this post with a detail from Jon D'Orazio's painting because the detail shows exactly what one sees at eye level. Contrast that with the second image, the painting itself whose photo I had to go to the other side of the room to take. That's why we sometimes joke that Jon must have painted this painting with a very long brush -- it's amazing how he painted the abstraction at close quarters for the image from afar. I believe this says something, not just about D'Orazio's painterly mastery but, also how he's so taken into heart all of his lessons from and training in Buddhism. Kudos, Jon!
We've lived with this painting for decades and it remains fresh.
It's ever so lovely to bear witness to someone else's lucidity and how such generates art.
