Sublime and Oblivious

Years ago, when I moved my life and studio from Portland to Las Vegas, I left behind a collection of paintings wrapped and safely stored in a climate-controlled storage facility. Among those pieces were a couple of very special paintings that haven’t seen the light of day in years.
