Most of his later color field theory abstract, contemplative but very emotional work is what Rothko was known for, but i always liked his earlier more almost representational stuff-still abstract but more figurative, almost fairy tale like pieces.

This is my favorite from that season of his artistic life. I once, wrote an art-to-art poem response after seeing it the first time! And now, have found it. I often make art in response to art, feels like the right way to honor that person. This painting, almost feels like Kandinsky, but also very personal. Nice.

Art keeps creating dialogue as we go! I look forward to seeing what he is working on now, in the art gallery up above!

My art response to Rothko’s painting:

There is sea, sky, and

the unseen swirl between

two worlds,

two lovers…on an edge

between- that

is,

us

all.

That

kingdom

is always

in our midst;

but too

Rarely edged awake, or just

seen.

much less

lived in.

For only

Love

can live

there-

by that

Sea.
