Lots of Forest based Art work has resulted in several ‘Silver Birch’ works. Nature abstracted and the energy of the essence of Nature itself. Pollock referred to ‘ energy and motion made visible ‘ which is relevant to my thoughts.
So we have EC202 ‘Silver Birch #6’

walking in morning light across fields and being caught in a shower of rain.
A total involvement in everything. A pictorial Poem to convey the experience of ‘Qiyan’ a Daoist aesthetic. Everything seemed to be moving and changing.
So we have EC 167 ‘Summer Rain’

EC 273 ‘ in yellow ‘
A response to reviewing the Art of Unkoku Toeki.
Also -
The Japanese concept of "ma" (間). If time is restricted, if we have no space we cannot breath, we cannot grow. Thoughts on finding that space - free of noise. Every day so we can function.

Looking at landscape and thinking about the slow geological changes over millennia.Thinking about the artistic ideas of Shizen 自然.
I always feel strangely mystical looking at an evening landscape.
We humans are in the position of being between placed Heaven and Earth

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

EC 352 ‘ The Conservatory’
We painters think a lot about composition, space, line etc. This is me : ‘ can we please STOP trying to sanitize , organize and oversimplify! There must be ‘Qi ‘.Energy,- life itself. Please .. !
Respect to Shen Zhou who helps me think.

Did you know?

There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”

Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.
