Petrarchan Sonnet
Form
I had a lovely conversation with Christine, a friend. After I’d been chatting about Thousand Sketches for a while she reflected back I had a fascination with form.
She is right, I had never seen that so sharply. I am more fascinated by the form than the content. I like the shape of a sonnet. I’ll sketch it now!

The canvas is a form. The blog is a form. The limited edition print is a form. (for all the artificial limitation in the digital age) .
Form is a wondrous thing. The medium is the message.

Paradox
In two separate conversations recently the same ideas cropped up. That a core value of art is that it is directly from the self. And art is good if it is innovative, and taps into the zeitgeist of the now. Maybe there moments when those two seemingly opposite aspects come together. They need to be hovering close together.

Allen Gallery
Good to know that the selection of prints are now safely in New York and there is a sample of them on the Allen Gallery!
