Mark Rothko is a great American artist. He suffered from terrible
depression and ultimately took his own life. This brings to light
the importance of treating depression.


In 2016, I had the great pleasure of giving a lecture on Mark Rothko
and the Abstract Expressionist movement. I happened to have 21
canvases lying about, so I used them to make paintings in the style of
Mark Rothko and other artists from that movement. The experience was
very powerful. And learning about Mark Rothko and his desire to connect
with people via his art was a great pleasure. I dedicate this art and
book to him.

Playing multiforms.
Abstractions of thoughts and ideas.
Small tiny breaths coming to life
with a little paint and a little light.
Difficult unknown complexities.
Brustrokes that caress and forgive, and then forget...
Moments of learning and experience.
And then, the painting in done and its on to the next.

A memory of a Mexican landscape.
Afterall, the expression of a thought that came and went.
Mexico here, Mexico there, the sounds of music playing.
And then, nothing but an expectation of change.

TITLE and Art Explanation
Remembering my father.
Moving to California, Newport Beach.
Water, yachts, membership, he is piloting the boat. <
I wonder and I worry, if he can take it out of its dock.
The water in the Newport marina.
I focus on the ligth hitting the waves.
Killing time... waiting for something and then nothing happens.
What a disappointment. But he doesn't even notice.
He is full of himself.
I loved him and I still love him.
Father, wherever you are, I made this to remember, not wanting to remember anyway.

A biomorphic shape becomes on the canvas.
The eyes of something that peaks beyond the canvas.

Using my hands... using my hands.

Purple and blue is so spiritual.
And spirits rise like a pack of bufalo.
White and pure, the paint, its texture, gives them life.
And they are, are, are...

Mark Rothko painted landscapes...
Landscapes into the mind...
Deeply rooted in the unconscious...

to Nina:
"My beautiful daughter.
How I miss you my sweet little one.
You grew up so quickly.
Once, you were all mine.
Once...


Have compassion darling, COMPASSION.
Have compassion for your mother.
And then, you will have compassion for yourself.
And that will make you stronger, much stronger than you are now.
Look into this painting, an exercise into abstract expressionism.
And notice all the biomorphic forms within it... the faces coming out of the paint. The bodies that stretch and grow and groan. The eyes that peak out... Everything, asking for compassion...
