Long-hair, long-horn yaks lead a kora, a religious trek
circumscribing the base of Mt. Kailash, Tibet.
Lovejoy renders these paintings with a sensuosity and
sensitivity that puts me in mind of effusive tales recounted
by writers like Richard Halliburton in The Royal Road to
Romance, the scholarly explorations of the late Patrick
Leigh Fermor and heartfelt encounters recorded all over
Europe and Asia by W. Scott Stone in his blog, ���Heart of
a Nomad.��� In short, as an artist,�� Lovejoy takes viewers
beyond the quotidian and the obvious, infusing his work
with thoughtful intimations of the spiritual and cultural life
of destinations that largely are still remote for most of us,
