Piers



Twenty years ago as I was taking a back road to work, I went past the piers supporting the 23rd Street on-ramp to I-235 in Oklahoma City. These utilitarian structures had such beauty in their symmetry with the light shining through that I brought my camera the next day and shot several photos. There is a spiritual essence to this view of the piers that belies their functionality, and that ambiguity still intrigues me. This painting evokes a deep response in some people and the friend who bought it is such a spiritual being that I know it has found its perfect home in her home.
