Original Oil by  Quata Cody, unframed - "Its cliché to say that it is an internal landscape but these really are memories of real places. They are single thoughts and single ideas highly focused and expressed in color. Each image is a spatial archetype easily recognized on a primal level. I studied ancient Japanese tankas and I want each painting to be like a tanka. A single sentence, a single concept a single thought or idea uncrowded and uncomplicated...elegant in its simplicity." - Quata Cody
