In this issue:

It’s January 2025 and nothing is certain, nothing fixed or real. Images flicker and pass before they can be comprehended; beauty no longer speaks its name; the virtual is the unreal real, a “there” that can’t ever be reached. But Painting resists. Pigment on canvas or panel or sheet, mark by mark, the brush at the end of the hand linked to the animating pumping heart. Painting. Heart and spirit; soul and resistance, joy and pleasure, some rage and some hope.
