That's me working the very 1st part of what will be known as "Breathe"


It's amazing what can happen to time when a person is really into what they're doing.


It's just as amazing how the simple everyday act of existing can be so effortless when someone really enjoys the activity they're into.


On a side note, I mean I know people with regrets, you know the ones that claim they woke up one day and they were 90 or something to that effect.


I think the difference is being grateful and having the appropriate attitude.


That way one's life isn't a series of distractions, they're a pearl string of events and chapters to re-read/recall fondly and others still to look forward to. It's a way to make a moment into the most intricate forever and a day into a minute you can remember every second of.


Anyway,
I can't sleep tonight, and this painting titled"Breathe" and everything behind it is very much on my mind.


I started from 10am on it yesterday, and am still continuing to work on it at 4am and it seems like a snap of the fingers really.

When I think of my process I think of my mind being a very still pool - waiting.


Then Small drops of fluid-like thought and formless words drop into that pool creating ripples each where they connect.

A few at first, like a sign more's about to come and then its happening.
And I am tracing each drop, and listening, and seeing the pattern and taking notes as it is happening.


Before long there's form to the story and its taking greater shape before I am even aware of it.
I cannot say that I am exactly focusing on the work itself as I am trying to keep up with the velocity of it's transfer if that makes any kind of sense.


I know it must all sound very cryptic and "artistically deep" but lol really there's no better way to describe it and I can't help if it comes across a little romantic.


Well, the arts are all romantic, I certainly have a love affair with mine, and deeply adore my muses


oh my muses, the inspirations


they open me up to so much and mix so well
they trine each work in process
like the sum being as uniquely beautiful as each of it's parts
"trine"
I love that word

anyway for lack of sleep and this blog being so very empty I descided to be a good boy and write a bit


I liked it, and I think I might be even more dilligent about it -

more later

"Serenity is a frame of mind, it is a way in which one thinks then moves it is not a destination but a discovery one derives from within ones self and though lost at times, once made it cannot be undone but attained again and again if one chooses it." - Tobias Talbott caption from a short story titled Of Wolves and Angels written by Tobias Talbott 1994 Have you ever seen or heard something that for no particular reason simply stuck in your head? For me the answer to that is "many times" call it a job hazard or my nature as a creative force but yes I have a proverbial library of such things and to each a memory attached and to those a stimulous and emotion and to such an attitude built upon and therefore an action, I paint it. Ergo the term "Impressionism" people, stories and even surroundings - they impress me by definition to impress means to leave an imprint derived from the latin term onis rhet philo (appearantly the way its spelt has nothing to do wi...

Who are we really? How honest can we possibly be in a world where we're almost expected to be unimportant and simply go? I know that we are in fact each of us precious, and perhaps each of us just a little weird . We have our tools and "things" like our bodies, our homes and our details or preferences/addictions but hind sightly really how much do we need? And who sets that definition? Well for any graduated soul the answer is simple, in reality, I do . I do myself and only me set those definitions of who I am and how I am presented, let the rest be left for angels and devils to decide in how I am perceived or how my true image is perverted . Trust me between the mob and rumor they usually if not always do and 99.9% of the time need no permissions . What is the difference in psycho-emotional miles between manipulation of one's own presentation and of other's perceptions then? Where within that does the truth lie (so to speak) lol ? This was a theory put on ca...
