Homage to Agnes

Homage to Agnes – 12x12 – Acrylic and colored pencil on canvas sheet

Agnes Martin (1912-2004) was a Saskatchewan, Canadian painter who emigrated to Taos, NM, was discovered by gallerist Betty Parsons, moved to NY where her friends and neighbors included Robert Indiana and Ellsworth Kelly. (Later she returned to New Mexico.) Her large canvases at the time were comprised of horizontal pencil lines and grids. From the Zen Buddhist and Taoist lineages, her lines represented chants or prayers, as do mine. In these difficult times you may go line by line, similar to prayer beads or a rosary, saying an affirmation at each one. As Meister Eckhart said: If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is Thank You, it will be enough.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Namaste.
