inside out
my past shapes
the path I follow
leading everywhere
nowhere
walking in circles
I face myself
directionless

Well Ken, it seems to me you have to find your own way out or
forward.
Love your lines : ” walking in circles
I face myself ”

Thank you, Jane. When I first looked at the painting, I saw an impossible maze.
I expanded the photo to see the artist’s name in the lower right corner and went from there. I was familiar with her from a feature on NPR, a couple of years ago.

I see it now 🙂 But the third painting doesn’t look like her geometric work at all and the signature doesn’t look like Herrera.

Yes, I was confused by that.

The first thing that struck me about that geometric painting was the colours. So Spanish! Turns out I wasn’t far wrong, linguistically anyway.

I’ve sort of figured out the third painting. I couldn’t find that particular image, but if you search Google images for “David Burliuk” you’ll see a lot of paintings in the same vein.

Ah, so not one of Carmen’s. I like her colours a lot, and I’m pleased she’s got recognition at last. David Burliuk doesn’t do it for me, I’m afraid.
