He Held One Brush (I held another)

May 9, 2015

I have gotten to know Sam Parker over the last couple years. I admire his crazy mind and I think he might do the same to me. Over last few months we have painted and drawn together on occasion. A couple painting sessions led to this. We listened to Leonard Cohen songs the first painting session. It was a cold night— Dark early and the black dog laid still on the sofa. Maybe those songs and the dark night led to this painting.

So now it is hot out. The days growing longer and the sun rising high. Sam is moving out West to the high plains on the edge of the Rockies— Moving to the blue sky and the thin air. I hope to see Sam Parker again. I wish him and Becky the best of luck. They are both very great artists and have inspired me. Keep your good eye open, sir friend.

This painting will be on display in a shop in the Cabbagetown neigborhood of Atlanta.
