    Rivers at the Blue Pyramid

    drifting into a bit of symbolism here, just finished watch LOST all 6 seasons on Netflix.... I never watched it when it first came out but I remember all the talk at work about
    it now I see why... anyway that was kind of a motivator on this piece.

    Two ways to reach the blue mountain (a triangular shape may be not casual or composition-only choice).
    The right one, walk and then climb, the other one on the left, just ascending with the smokey air gusts.
    Two spiritual paths for searcher of truth, maybe.
    Either an arduous and tough journey in the world and through everydays difficulties and relashionships of a saint facing the world pains, or a mystic ascetism, prayers and meditation of a hermit or a cloistered nun or monk.
    A quite different style for an amazing painting. Fanciful and graceful in its symbolic content.

    Like Shazaam! Looks like ol' Joseph did a Sir Walter Raleigh for the mummy cats and mamma kitties of Egypt with his amazing technicolor dream threads. The 13th plague of Egypt: And it came to pass that their children ran with electric kool-aid. . . for their Sumer of Love.

    Caesar sorry to take so long to respond to your gracious comment, but had a health issue that knocked me down for a few days, and I am cleaning house in preparation of a visit from family and trying to figure out where to sleep 8 more people in my tiny house ... which I think I have done if the kids sleep in a tent outside...

    Oh definitely. Mssr. 1960s music, you betcha. It's a shame he dropped out of painting in order to focus almost entirely on that getting all his music ripped off thing. Put a hole in the hull of his ship, I fear. I hope he checks in and draws some hope and inspiration from your picture. To me your painting is a celebration of eternity and the cycles and natural essences.

    Nothing like having the land be running with rainbows, laid out at your feet -- especially with the desert sand being like a blank canvas that Egypt built upon like a painter. . . And onto it we create anything we want. Well done, my dear pharaoh.

    Hey Pete! Come get your feet wet again! The water's fine. And that's no croc.
