Later: This was a satisfying outcome for me, learning how to capture the moment of that light. It has something of that evening. See the photo I took at the time.
Sky3c
Earlier I posted a photo of the sky and wondered how I would sketch it. A few goes follow. Again light is coming through a layer – not bursting but flowing… even when I don’t quite get what I am looking for I feel ok about what comes.

Totara_Bark_Colours – More realisations
#72 Totara_Bark_Colours3
This looks like the others in the M series, and it is and it has its own story.
The Gum picture is one I like. So on the basis of that I took some snaps of Totara bark – and tried the same technique as with the Gums – but to no avail, after dozens of goes I quit. They looked wrong.
I notices in the Totaras that there was a pink light wanting to come through all that rough gray.
With the Totara’s inner life bursting through here it bodes well! (Given that I am what I see!)

Emerging
An accurate readout of my inner mood, broad, expansive overwhelming with something embryonic emerging, bubbling up wanting to grow.
Autobiographical artwork. Not always unashamedly so.
Blue_Red_Glow – and some Notes
After doing the two sketches earlier #0058 and #0059 it struck me that there was more to them than I intended. I was in a black mood, but those images – even the darker one had a light in there. This led to a lot of reflection. I’ll give some headings here – but there may be more of these thoughts coming.
- Lois Kahn’s idea that a building wants something – this project wants its light to come through.
- Another Kahn idea: That once you have a “realisation” after that it is just implementation. I think I could sketch one of these light-coming-through-barrier images at will – am testing that idea so a few follow. They are not mechanical repeats.
- The light in the project is in a relationship with the light in me – that is an old alchemical idea. “As above, so below.” The essence in the matter under investigation – when distilled is akin to the life essence in me. This is more than I bargained on.
- Earlier sketches #6 #7 & #8 were embryonic expressions of these images. As was the post in the blog about it being OK – no matter what. And they were there in the “Bursting”. (I’ll find links later)
- With the notion of alchemy the monetary – gold – aspect of this project makes more sense. The gold plays a part.
- Has got me thinking this project is linked closely with the writing I did on the Archetypes of Cyberspace (go straight to the section on Hermes, God of the Net – and of trade!)

No pen just using the computer to sketch and colour – is that sketching?
Later: Wednesday, 3 October, 2007
No worries! It is all fine! Now trying to find that software again.
