Solitude
Roger’s Back Yard

This is such a self-contained statement, this composition. It’s an imaginary place, but it was perceived as a reality in the North Valley of Albuquerque. This place is so private as to be lonely; so surreal as to be perfect, and it well represents my understanding of existentialism, but I must confess I sometimes confuse its title with “Serenity.” (24” x 36”)
