Adagio refers to a musical piece that is performed in slow tempo. Its origin is especially telling. It comes from the Italian, “ad agio,” meaning “at ease.” In my mind, it suits this collection of solo paintings that invite one to pause and enter a captured place and time. The outside world is set aside for a while, and time slows as the eye navigates the image. The viewer comes to a resting place.
