Mystery, 2021, oil paint on Arches paper, 20x13 inches
"Time passes. Memory fades, memory adjusts, memory conforms to what we think we remember."
Joan Didion, Blue Nights, first published in 2011
"What we are left with is magic - a place between life, memory and dreams - what is true becomes something else.
Or is it a deeper truth?" Theresa DeSalvio
Mystery is included in the Jason McCoy Drawing Challenge XXII online

"Still the one who best understands the significance of light is not the electrician, not the painter,
not the photographer, but the man who lost his sight in adulthood. There must be the wisdom of deficiency
in deficiency, just as there is the wisdom of plenty in plenty."
Kobo Abe (1924-1993), cited from his novel The Face of Another (1964)
Nightfall captures the moment between day and night, before the jewel tones fade into darkness.

Expressions of Clinician Well Being
http://nam.edu/expressclinicianwellbeing/#/artwork/125
The National Academy of Medicine (NAM), a non-profit research organization in Washington, DC, called on artists to express what clinician burnout and clinician resilience/well-being looks, sounds, and feels like to them. The purpose of Expressions of Clinician Well-Being is to promote greater awareness and understanding of barriers to clinician well-being—and solutions that promise a brighter future.
