Larry Pray
"I paint with watercolor for several reasons. Mystery is the first. I never quite know where and how the water will take the paint, how gravity itself will affect it, or just how many greys can be made in the mixture of blue and orange, red and green, earth colors and blue."
"I paint landscapes because I tend to live "out there" rather than in a minute world. In each place healing is the theme. I have managed to lived through two strokes, each of which changed my perception of life itself. I was never quite sure how I would understand, communicate, or find my way. The essence of life became the essence of my painting."
Larry has done four shows in Minneapolis/St. Paul. His work, poetry and painting, has appeared at Methodist Healthcare in Memphis, Tennessee; the Retina Center at Phillips Eye Institute, and Abbot Northwestern Hospital.
Larry's newest book is Thresholds: Connecting Body and Soul after Brain Injury, Ruder Finn Press, 2012. The book is available on Kindle, Nook, and iBook. The print edition will be available in late July, 2012.
