Abstract Memories Photo Addendum

This addendum to last Friday's blog post, Sleep and Memory, is a selection of abstract paintings by Michael Sampson. Mike relates that his paintings often begin with a memory. Although I have no measure of his sleep or the accuracy of his memories, I thought you might like to view examples of his work.
