Although I have been familiar with Ryder-and this painting-for many years, I only recently gave it a close and sustained viewing. I was absolutely astounded at the depth, power and evocative genius of his vision. It is breathtaking and filled with sublime presence.

My gratitude to the fine folks at The Occult Library for including several of my artworks in their Gallery of Visionary Visuals. www.occultlibrary.org/artgallery/k...
