“Rondo” (acrylic, graphite, cold wax and oil paint), by Lexington, Mass.-based artist Marina Thompson.
She writes:
“The pulse of color and the play of light and texture are constant sources of stimulation. Color creates light, light creates form. To generate depth, energy and movement with illusions of volume, space, light and time –
this is why I paint.’’

It’s rung every April 19 at 5:30 a.m. in celebration of that day.
