'I didn't quite tell the truth when I said I had never been here,' Vincent confessed. 'I hadn't been in San Francisco, but I did wander around a bit on the southern coast of the state on my way here. It felt familiar and foreign all at the same time. What struck me most was the dryness. The land is dying, there has been no rain. It is worrisome on many levels, not the least of which is that so much of your fruits and vegetables are grown here.''Yes,' I said. 'The drought has been terrible and shows no signs of letting up.''I was moved to paint,' Vincent continued. I wanted to do a landscape but visions of dry cracked land, huge houses and the ocean - which is, as you likely know, showing grave signs of pollution - kept getting jumbled in my head. So instead of the landscape I wanted to paint this is what I ended up with.'He reached into his satchel and pulled out a rolled-up sheet of canvas paper. Untying it, he laid it out on the table. I was surprised to see an abstract, done in his familiar style of brushstrokes and colors.'Vincent, how unusual. I like it, but it's like nothing I've seen you do,' I said.'Yes, I know, but I could not paint a coherent landscape with all the thoughts that were running around in my head. I would start to paint hills and huge houses would sprout. It's a slope downward, the ocean kept intruding, but as you can see I saw it in a sickly shade.'I reached into my bag for my camera so I could take a picture of this most unusual work. When I had, Vincent smiled and rerolled the painting.'It doesn't hurt to experiment once in a while,' he said. 'But I must go, it's getting late. I still feel the urge to paint a landscape but I won't be able to do it here.''Take care,' I said. 'I hope we meet again soon.''We shall,' he said. 'Stop brooding about what you didn't do. Everything unfolds as it should in the fullness of time.' ~ except copyright 2014 RC deWinter
