Joan Mitchell at the SAM

This morning I paid a visit to the Seattle Art Museum, knowing I needed to take another look at some of Joan Mitchell's work on display. Like so many of her paintings, this one is untitled, and I find it particularly gorgeous and haunting.

Here's another painting by Mitchell. This one is titled Hemlock. The title give one more of a foothold. I love both of these paintings for the feeling of movement, the expression of intellect, and the visceral sense of the oil paint.
