We shall get there someday." A. a. Milne Winnie the Pooh Feeling the blue... and the cool of the river and the warmth of the day all in the same sweep of the eyes. This double panel was painted in about 2005 and still remains one of my favorite. Always working in odd numbers, the horses number 9. All total 18 with the reflections.

It is an expression of someone who is too involved in the details of a problem to look at the situation as a whole.  Just think about your life.  I know I focus on everything in my day and always weighing my decisions on different outcomes I might chose.
