This lovely painting sold last year and now while I'm in Mexico, I've been thinking about it quite a lot. It’s from a collection of paintings I made about borders.

My trip back to Portland for a quick ‘hello’ to husband @jasonmampeldesign was mostly #CoVid19 and snow. (Well I may have squeezed in good internet and some great bread too). I’m sad there is so much uncertainty right now. This painting from last year, especially its title seems relevant to the moment. These kites are neither floating in the air where they want to be nor rolled up and packed away, snug and safe. They’re parked on the sidelines, awaiting further instructions. 🌞 I like to look for a sunny side in moments like this and honestly, the painting is a pretty happy one for me. Seeing kites in any context is cheerful to me and sun on the sand and water is just as uplifting. I hope you all are doing what you can to stay safe and healthy and finding the sun in all of this.

Three things about this new painting: 1) I loooooooove these Baja jack rabbits. 2) Can you imagine having ears that big? 3) Disguise. In earlier versions of this painting I worked hard to isolate the rabbit from the background but in a moment of clarity, I realized that I was fighting the nature of this rabbit. These desert rabbits naturally blend into their environment. And, reflecting on that, makes me think about nature and the tools it has provided animals and people to encourage survival and sometimes even a sense of autonomy and privacy.

This second attempt is so much better! —a lighter feel, stronger composition, and better sense of depth. It’s already hanging on the walls at the Shahmoon Keller Firm in New York. Thank you @carolshahmoon and Greg for commissioning such a fun, large painting! Also, thanks @fredhope17 for unwittingly inspiring this! #paintthegorge #kiteboarding #abstractlandscape #landscapepainting #columbiariver #columbiarivergorge http://bit.ly/2VH3VXg.
