Reflections 4
Reflections 3
#89 reflections3
The next series (along with #53) I did a few years ago. They are out of sequence in terms of when I did them , but maybe not why I selected them. Selecting them brings them back in 2006. There are others I did not select.
I’d like these there for the Launch on 3 November.

Line, autobiography, links to blogs.
Some good posts & discussion on “On Painting” about line. (made a comment there)
And more here on line in Falstaff’s blog.
Discussion here on autobiography & art, and made a post – I’ll paste below.

Loved your blog, this post & great discussion. I am opting for the value of the whole story, art + artist. Art lives in it’s context. What counts is not just the thing there in front of you but how it connects. It may be that it is a radically new use of a medium. Or that it it breaks conserved custom like the PreRaphaelites did. Maybe that the artist was ridiculed for their work is part of that story. The pain would be inherent in that work.
I am thinking of alchemy. There was a time when scientists related the life force in their flasks to their own life force, after all both came from God. Maybe objectivity was needed in a while in science, but it is a bit sad IMO to transfer that to art.
As a psychotherapist I guess I am used to seeing the personal story in art & art in the personal story.
Make it OK again to be autobiographical, to be personal. These things get frowned out with phrases like “indulgent”.
I think the kitten is more interesting now that we know it was saved, I’ll clap & cheer for the swimmer too!
Isn’t it fun being alive!
Met with George for lunch. He was enthusiastic and we buzzed together.
He and Beryl are painting, taking it up, something new. I’m looking forward to doing some painting together, what a great idea. (Mine will be digital of course – for now anyway.)
One thing George said that is with me: “Simplicity is an advanced course”.
That is my challenge – to keep it only as complex as it needs to be.
This ties in with the idea of distillation, getting to the essence. ( download & listen to hour long Alchemy mp3)
Central to psychotherapy too, seeing the main pattern in the many stories.
Means circling around and repeating, until there is, what Khan would call a “realisation“.
It was a fun lunch!
