back in the light

sorry if i have disappointed any regular readers with my extended absence I have been in a dark and unpleasant place, full of sick people, a place you are supposed to mend but it is souless and impersonal, and with the health scares related to H1N1 (notice I didn't use the pig word) many people may also regret being taken to such a place ... so my advice don't panic, eat and sleep well, and stay in the light.


Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. ~Mark Twain

having been "out of action" for a what seems likes mopnths but may have jut been a week, I find myself muddling around and just pushing paint ... so I wanted to get some spontaneity back ... so i've changed to a new sable dagger brush and a simple wash or two ... but i am focusing on gesture ... gesture of my brush strokes

life following art

knowing a little bit about anatomy, doesn't help you stay healthy, but some knowledge always helps ... just a little understanding can ease pain, visualize things and give you a longer term view ... to be able to fix something you need to know how it works ... by these mechanics are soulless, often cruel and painful ... the soul need beauty and light

“Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.” George Bernard Shaw
