December 29, 2019 — Sonoma Coast
In her comment on yesterday’s post, Margot pointed out to me that stormy weather brings me Turner, while calm weather brings me Rothko. Wise and helpful words.
But Mother Nature works in wonderful and mysterious ways. In the morning, her storm brought me Rothko. Who am I to refuse?
The afternoon? Well, stay tuned…

Calm or storm, I saw this one as Rothko.

Uniquely yours, Michael. I agree with Steve. It could go either way, although stormy looks more likely and now I know why you hinted at something good. Isn’t nice when our intention and visualization works?

I hadn’t been familiar with Mark Rothko so looked and see this might be what Steve was referring to.

Yes. I am fortunate to have seen that very one. In addition, in the Tate Modern there is a room with nothing but Rothkos in it — commissioned work that was not accepted. This past summer, she and I sat in the room and basked for a long time. It was nurturing. Calming. Inspiring.

We have an art museum nearby, <a href="https://www.clarkart.edu/The Sterling and Francine Clark Institute" where Mary Beth and I have spent many hours enjoying the collection and there are several works that I can sit in front and admire for long periods. I posted about one of our visits there on 8/11/15 to enjoy one of my favorites, Winslow Homer. We’ve seen Monet, Rembrandt, Gauguin, Van Gogh, some Turner and Constable, etc. They have a good size holding of many major artists as well. They even have one of me in my early modeling career.

Every artist your name as a favorite of mine. The one of you in your early modeling career is fascinating. You must be a great deal older than I thought.

This brought Rothko to mind immediately. The Rothko Chapel in Houston’s currently closed for renovations, but the relationship between the paintings displayed there and your photo is obvious.

Thank you very much. I think that the Rothko Chapel is a marvelous thing. I will be happy when it reopens. But to me, that one room at the Tate Modern is just as much of a Rothko Chapel.
