Three wise men

Of all the modern art I have loved and hated, this personifies it to me. The colors remind me of institutional avant garde pieces that oppressed the subconscious back of my mind. How I settled on this I don't know. I almost threw it out (as I did with five other canvases), but this one kept calling me back. It partly reminds me of the sails of boats in California harbors and also of three evergreens in the backyard of my Illinois property. Something of the three wise men also called to me. The rest I cannot explain.
