RE: Some Work From Holiday and After

I wonder if you also take your drawing and painting stuff with you and if your mom likes what you paint.

Together the cards make an awesome overview, something like the birthday booklet you made.

The second mysterious painting gets more clear the longer I watch it.

I wonder what your interviews are about that a local politician fits in. Well, you can ask her where she stands if it comes to freedom of will, mind, the heart and art. Will there be any support? They support art in healthcare and prison. Why not in the free world (from kindergarten on children should practice art and learn how to improve and find their style. It would do many if not everyone good.).

Sort:  

That local politician is a professional art therapist. I answered her knock at my door wearing my full painter regale, and she said, “Oh my, you’re a painter!” I was even holding a wet brush.
What a rare social exchange in my small town. I love moments like that:)
The interviews are simple questions about art, as you might have already seen in this video.
The world is changing. Art will have its renaissance, and be practiced by the majority population throughout their lives. I’m feeling the stirrings now. We have time for wealth to be a state of mind, rather than possessions. People with less, but enough, will have more.

Small town or is it a small world after all?
🙂

The world changes indeed and I hope you are right and art will be common and something people share.
Will there be anything left of the old masters?

Yes, a small world!
Connections on the Internet and some travel has opened my eyes. I had to develop those connections, but getting over that hump has made all the difference.
The old masters were amazing commercial illustrators. They made wonderful shows of beauty. But they are not an act to follow for the future golden age I imagine. People will work to become artists of life. Perfection will be accepted, but not expected. Art will feed contentment, and contentment the philosopher’s stone. Art is ubiquitous because we are human. And we will want to nurture human after centuries of degradation.
Henry Miller:

To sing you must first open your mouth. You must have a pair of lungs, and a little knowledge of music. It is not necessary to have an accordion, or a guitar. The essential thing is to want to sing.

Good to share with my painting group. I hope it will help and stimulate many.

The only questions remains: what is perfection?

Exactly, what is “perfection”? No such thing except the thing in itself:) And a painting is a facsimile, a new arrangement of the thing(s) that are already perfect, like solid tree, wood house, old human. I think a perfect painter would be able to paint the wind without anything else but the wind in the picture. I think that’s why the Zen Buddhists just keep pointing.

I guess what I meant by “perfection” are those paintings that are more like illustrations. Bad choice of word.
Happens all the time with me:)

I understand what you mean. The exact copy.
