"Blind Bathers"
I began this painting with a fairly restrictive drawing but, bit by bit, I tried to find the color that could open up the forms. The first two images are details from the final version of the painting, then it's back to the black & white start.

They
hold onto each other & move toward the water by facing away from
it. This is part of their
understanding of how sight alone can misunderstand. Stillness
& motion hold onto each other. The blind bathers feel their way
by listening.
The
icy entrance-point is perception.
