I was forced to take a break from my computer during the holidays as I left it at the security check point in Phoenix – but very happy to have it back! I had a really boring title picked out for this painting, but after re-reading Bret’s blog I found these great lyrics from 40 Day Dream by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros:

“She got sunset on her breath
I inhaled just a little bit
Now I got no fear of death”
