When I was in the army, I had a layover in Des Moines, where Grant Wood's masterpiece, "American Gothic" was on display. At that same time they had a two-man show of I. Rice Peira and Loren MacIver. This was 1952 and I had never heard of MacIver. What I remember of that show was a remarkable semi-abstract, "Green Votives". It was one of those moments... 55 years later when I began doing Daily Paintings I decided to do a series of votives in my own style. I hope the flicker and glimmer evoke some sort of serenity or mystery.
