Chris Westygaard



I love the title of this painting: "Bad Marriage Road Trip - New Mexico" My imagination kicks into gear with that one. Does it bring up a "Thelma and Louise" type of road trip?

I love the painting as much as its title. Far away mountains and blue sky. To me it communicates silence and solitude rather than sadness or anger.

Anyway, the painting was done by a new walking/artist friend who is also, like me, originally from California. Chris and I have a lot in common. Besides the painting and walking we are both investigating meditation. She is way ahead of me and has established a long term practice. I'm still struggling with showing up regularly.

Here is a photo portrait of Chris. I love this photo.
