I feel a need for wide open space. I do not have it here in my house. I spent some time at school yesterday trying to create it there. There are about 2 hours of daylight left in the day, maybe a walk would do me some good.

| Chessboard, 36x24, acrylic, 2012 |
I got a new easel and 3 big canvases for Christmas, I think the chessboard one is finished. I was thinking about the relationship between the bishop and the pawn, thinking at first that this arrangement provides a possibility that the pawn could take the bishop, but only if the bishop is prevented somehow from attacking the pawn, perhaps by some other piece, but it is quite clearly wide open space, no one else around. If it is the pawn's first move, it could move two spaces to safety, but then it is stuck there. Why did I choose a bishop? Because of some connection to religion? No, because they move diagonally, and it makes a more visually pleasing arrangement. But it is called a bishop, so the religious connection is there, whether I want it to be or not. I really like this one. But I do not know what to do with it. I can't imagine displaying it anywhere.
