This painting  culminates  the  simplyfying  process I went through  in my figurative work.
I love the elegant, simple geometric shapes and colors. Less is more.

Ok, ok, it’s not like I know much about Art.  So when I put one of Gabo’s paintings in my little apartment in Querétaro (my post-25 year marriage man cave) I thought, oh how nice I have something pretty to put on the wall.  Or at least something more classy than some Mexican esquina artist painting of stereotypical Mexican street scene with the flowers in the windows and dude with a huge straw hat walking uphill in the narrow cobble street of "real" Mexico.  And maybe even something to impress the chics, you know, like “Hey, baby I have an original Sencial in my living room, want to see it?”  But I’m sort of getting the idea about this art thing.  And I’m getting the point that the less you know and assume the better.  Just open up and let the painting in.   Like, what does it feel like looking at this thing?  Where does it take me?  Does it take me different places if I sort of try to look at it differently? 
      So when Gabo lent me this abstract painting, which I liked, blue and red shapes (I had to hound Gabo to lend it to me);  it sort of grew on me.  I mean I realized what one of the benefits of a good painting is.  You get up in the morning and it acts as a sounding board for your mood.  And you look at it again, and it says something else to you and so you mind starts working in a more creative way, lead off the normal rail of early morning thinking to somewhere new. A little kick-start for the creativity needed to survive and enjoy your day.

The future is not what it used to be. I mean, an intriguing implication of the branch of mathematics called  chaos theory  is that the future states of complex dynamical systems such as the weather, the human brain, the stock market, evolution, and history itself, are not what we once thought them to be. Specifically, chaos theory suggests that the behavior of complex systems can f

  Why do Americans go out of their way to remove this part of human anatomy, when the rest of the world does not? The male prepuce, or foreskin, is a highly mobile and extraordinarily sensitive double fold of tissue that  is  the end of the penis.   The male prepuce, or foreskin, is a highly mobile and extraordinarily sensitive double fold of tissue that  is  the end of the penis.  Why do Americans go out of their way to remove this part of human anatomy, when the rest of the world does not? Note: Never have I gotten so many comments and emails in response to a blog post, much less rumors that I’m a man. I’ll keep that in mind. And for the record, it wasn’t until 2014 that I had the opportunity to put a man’s intact penis in my very much female vagina. This frictionless appendage made me realize that sex doesn’t have to be painful or cause hazardous inflammation. And with that image in your mind… I was nineteen or twenty years old when a male friend of mine, we’ll call him B
