...solar wind," the stream of electrically charged particles that continually emanate from the sun, the material from the nucleus should be swept into the characteristic comet's tail. As it reacts with the charged particles, the tail should begin to glow brightly-so brightly, in fact, that Brian Marsden of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory believes that the comet could be visible to the naked eye in daylight just before its close approach to the sun in December, and even more spectacularly in the evening during January as it begins to move away. Perhaps the most remarkable sight will...
...clear in the porch shadows what art, if any, he may have seen to create such an interest in clean, abstract imagery, yet his association in these early times with such American artists as John Martin.

One of the most exciting comparisons is between Georgia O'Keefe's oil from 1953 at "Abiquiu Trees...

But painters in the "291" circle, like Marsden Hartley and John Marin, found it hard to believe that somebody who did the cooking might also be a serious painter...
