The Gates

Elaine Gauthier January 11, 2016

If you missed the artist, Christo's installation art in Central Park, NYC in 2005 ( 7503 vinyl "gates" along 23 miles of pathways in Central Park which stood from February 12, 2005 until February 27, 2005) here is a link to a wonderful clip of the experience.  Not to miss his closest work of art to the northeast,  I traveled to NYC with several family members on a cold, snowy day in February, 2005.  Soon, the cold evaporated into a warm, welcoming experience.  Words could not do the installation justice so I set out to relive the experience in the way I often communicate - through painting.  Not until I finished the first painting did I realize that creating this work in the month of February was utterly appropriate.  The warm, saffron colored curtains set against the cool, blue winter day was a match of divine inspiration.
