  • Stone for Levon
  • ink on cloud-dragon and cotton paper
signed, titled, dated Spring '12, with four seals of the artist, and inscribed The river runs its course, blending into undifferentiated seas, only those who were nurtured by it, lovingly recall its name, willows that it fed, gorges it carved out, and birdsong that accompanied, its lazy passage, as they idled on the banks, flooding with joy. Levon Helm was one of the cool men of rock. Cool name, cool drummer, cool voice. He rocked my life. Now only the rock remains. Inscribed by the Master of the Water Pine and Stone Retreat in the spring ‘12.
