Trees

#0931 Trees

They are not native pines, and they are some sort of imported willow, but in full bloom the colour on the drive along the Inland Road is wonderful.

Incantion, done. I have been putting this one off as it seemed too hard, but doing the in and out breath today, led to this. Not so much joy as being OPEN. Open is ok. Ok if you also know how to say no, or yes for that matter. The next one is its inverse, to flow with the breath.

The last two, particularly #0926 I thought might have been just a bit too much influenced by my reading the Krasner book. And no doubt it was, and is the better for it. However deciding to try one in other than black & white, the familiar returned, reminding me of others I have done, at least back as far as the 800s. Recapitulation, no doubt, but also something of my own emerging in this.

There is something quite nice about not having to face the complete new. One I will complete this whole project, and within it some, at least of the smaller frames, such as doing every flower in our garden.

Had to return to the previous one. Seemed there was another step. This was on my mind:

It is not a matter of painting life. It’s a matter of giving life to painting.

#0923 Light

I have been reading a Henri Geldzahler interview with Ellsworth Kelly (he does the the advanced simplicity!). he said of his work:

I think the paintings are easy to like, but you have to want to like them.

Today I like his, and today I like mine.

More about Ellsworth follows.
