Just to remind you, if you've followed this blog for a while, or introduce you to it if you haven't, the source of Little Stupa from yesterday. This is the original Stupa, done during the early days of the Iraq War and after seeing a rock-my-world sculpture exhibit at the Asia Society. It's bigger, yes, more complicated, and certainly took longer to paint, but I like the new one better. Which is not always the case with these new paintings I did after posting the originals ones to this blog. Maybe it's just about how I felt as I was painting them, this winter was better than that one.
