..The paintings may err toward the simplistically decorative at times, but there are no false notes. For example, in Flying Figure in Landscape (ca. 1970), the luminous votive figure looks to have bounded full-blown from behind a row of bushes, her hair and drapery a slightly drier version of the scummy blackish greens of the field. She hovers and twists and extends herself as integrally as the weather, which hangs on the view a massive, blotted, dull-porcelain white. A gallery note describes the painting's genesis thus: "According to the artist, the flying figure with goat legs is a Hindu goddess of peace who doesn't appear in Indian art but presumably in literature. The painting was originally taller, and there was a group of 3 figures over whom this goddess was showering blessings. However, this group was cut off and painted out.
