An invitation preceded each of these paintings, sometimes expressed in writing, or a suggestion from a passerby, and other times in a voice of the heart or a fleeting glance from the road. The more time I spent reflecting on the title "Invitations Answered," the more came to mind, taking me further in, each invitation in its own way, a wave of encouragement, carrying me from one place to the next.
What begins as invitations to come and stay, to see, to paint a place, becomes invitations to share in the lives of others. This hospitality happens with both planned and spontaneous meetings. Often, there is a very real sense that the places have been prepared, as though they were waiting for my arrival, anticipating it.
As I tugged at the thread of invitation, it brought paintings of disparate places together in a spirit of hospitality. Rather than standalone trips, these paintings are links in a chain, interconnected and tethering me with the lives of others, and they to one another, through these paintings, which anchors us a bit in our otherwise far-too-fast and fleeting lives.
"But I also say this: that light is an invitation to happiness, and that happiness, when it's done right, is a kind of holiness, palpable and redemptive..” — From "Poppies" by Mary Oliver
