Here is one of the proofs from my New Mexico trip.  This house was far away from everything.  It's colors juxtaposed with all the colors near it created a soft lightness, bright beauty.  All the rubble like beach stones. 

Sylvia Sleigh, what can I say?  Bravo then and bravo now.  Bravo for all time.  RELEVANT. 

I've been interested in the male nude forever, and have been thinking for the last few (or 7) years about how I really need to examine the subject more in my work.  I have made works here and there over the years, but never cohesively as a series. 
Thanks for the much needed representation and inspiration, Sylvia, you did something magnificently groundbreaking.  I can't even begin to sit here and write about the extent of it.

Captivating favorites.  Renaissance obsessed.
