Joshua Tree - William Wray

Yes, it's a simple picture of a Joshua Tree at sunset.  Or is it?

What sort of journey is the painter, William Wray, taking us on -- and how is his use of colour the key to unlocking the whole story?

Let painter Michael Newberry explain, in another of his brilliant Aesthetic Commentaries.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
