So long, Cy Twombly.....

I am so sad to learn today that Cy Twombly died last week.  I love his paintings so much.
 A few years ago when I was a visiting artist at Southern Methodist University, my friend Rebecca drove the two of us down to Houston to check out the Cy Twombly Gallery at the Menil; a whole museum full of his paintings.  It was amazing.
And it was a real thrill when the Art Institute of Chicago's Modern Wing opened with a room full of Twomblys work.  I spent many lunch hours in that gallery, sitting with his huge paintings.  Rest In Peace, Cy Twombly.  Thank you so much for painting.
