Back story:
Run is about counting time based on the position of the sun in the sky and letting the warmth of the sun heal me. Recovering from surgery this summer just about all I could do was it in my back yard. The sun kept me company as I memorized its cool shades of blue in the morning and warm shades of golden pink in the afternoon.
The sun taught me not to be afraid. Instead of running away from everything I was scared or worried about, I should run toward my life with open arms.
Very fitting, I was able to paint this piece (about the Sun) OUTSIDE in 6 degree January weather. What a dream!
