September 12, 2009. This is what I did for the day after September 11. My sister-in-law's exhibit went up at the Zumbo River Art Splash. It was the reason I traveled to Minnesota this season, along with the constant of visiting my family. She brought portraits of family members and pets, and still lifes of fruit and fauna. I like her work for its colors, often soft and hazy in its overall impact, until you get close. She displayed a trio of plums, glistening with rain and vibrant with a red that I never expected. She looks for, and captures, that moment that resonates. One of my nieces thinks that every home needs a Ludwig.
