The Importance of Colors


M saw this painting from across a huge market in Johannesburg last weekend and she beelined to it as if she were a salmon with magnetite in its snout at spawning time. She deliberated for, oh, 45 seconds and bought it from the artist. It is BIG and so vibrant. I keep watching it because it seems like there is movement from people or wind or ocean. It is blatantly happy, and it is good.
