After Nine Days

My painting, “After Nine Days” was named after the song by America “A Horse with No Name”. I kept singing it in my head while creating this piece. I grew up listening to it on the radio and remember feeling this beautiful melancholy wash over me every time I heard it play. When coming up with a title I did a little research on the song, and read that the writer, Dewey Bunnell, says “A Horse with No Name” was “a metaphor for a vehicle to get away from life’s confusion into a quiet, peaceful place.” I cannot tell you how appropriate this feels for the state of, well, everything right now.
