On John Blee’s “Orchard Improvisation”

John Blee, part of the second wave of the Washington Color School, creates compelling works whose narrative parallels the lyricism of nature. I think his paintings are both wildly inventive and meditative at the same time. That tug between the inner and outer worlds creates a synergy and a rhythm and a state of being. This is a painting that I’d like to live with because I know it will change as I change. To me the mark of a true painter is somebody who can create a work of art that lives and breathes.  When I hear people choose living spaces because of the view outside their window I think the real view is what you have inside. And what could be better than an orchard in your living room?
