golden paint ...
with mark golden and james carroll ...
["kimono study" on the floor]
a few posts ago [golden dreams], i mentioned the possibility of visiting the golden paint company ...
last week, james carroll and i took the 4 hour + sojourn to new berlin in upstate new york ...
james was one of my college professors, mentor, and founder of the 'new arts program' - so there was never a dull moment trading art war stories all the way up [from bethlehem,pa] and back ...
mark golden was his usual good spirited self and a gracious host as he shared some of the history, current events, and plans for the future with us - and the manufacturing, museum, and development facilities were all well worth the trip ...

the "kimono study" [shades of dawn + shades of dusk] and "chariots of the sun" are now part of the golden collection ...
what an honor and great memory ...
