Day 27. Intersection

“Intersection” 20×16 in oil on Unstretched Canvas (Available Soon)

27 down, 4 to go. I think of today’s piece as a companion to yesterday’s. They are of the same birds in two different postures and I can imagine them being hung next to one another. Still working on the framing but I imagine something like below. I recently reconnected with an old college friend which got me thinking a lot about who comes in and out of our lives, how much our intersections become part of our stories.

Intersection

Have you considered how improbable 

that we should ever have met

How a sudden change in the wind

A headache or a misplaced key

Could have put the entire thing off course?

But here we are

Our crossed paths 

formed a new one–

A thousand new ones

Our intersection a portal to

God knows where
