Love Letters of Madeline CrawfordTHE LOVE LETTERS OF MADELINE CRAWFORD There’s a really complicated personal story behind why I like this one, but again, it’s such a perfect match with what was going on at the time I just HAD to have it. It was like he was somehow telling my story. https://34orchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/katrinas-revenge.jpgKatrina's RevengeKATRINA’S REVENGE This one I had to have because it reminded me of the last scene of my novel, BAD APPLE. I remember looking at it and thinking, ‘how the hell did Walter get inside my head?’ https://34orchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/indian-pipes-on-carnaby-street.jpgJANUARY THAWJANUARY THAW Years ago, Charles (my housemate) and I would spend New Year’s Day at Walter’s. Once, we ended up staying over due to inclement weather, and when we got up the next day, it was sunny, lovely—and like sixty-five degrees. This painting reminds me of that very special weekend. I want to say it was the year 2000. https://34orchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/26-show-info.jpg26 Show InfoIf you live in Western Connecticut, Walter’s exhibit is running through April 29, and it’s worth a stop-in during library hours to see the work in person.https://34orchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/25-pop-tart-hd.jpg25 Pop Tart HDhttps://34orchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/24-pop-tarts.jpg24 Pop TartsYou can always count on getting your Pop Tart fix at one of Walter’s openings!

To me, it speaks deeply of the things in our memories that we treasure that eventually are lost and buried throughout time and circumstance, yet the candy corn represents the thing we love the most, and that stays in the forefront no matter what. It might say something totally different to someone else--that's the beauty of art--but that's the story this one told me.https://34orchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/20-abraham-lincoln-enters-the-world-of-the-abstract-nathans-favorite.jpg20 Abraham Lincoln Enters the World of the Abstract - Nathan's FavoriteABRAHAM LINCOLN ENTERS THE ABSTRACT This is Nathan's favorite.
