FIELDS OF VISIONS

The Great Harvest

Oak Leaf through sunlight sparks patterns in the imagination, twigs and branches and bark and wood fires....



Poetry is Science
Leaves of Grass:  Walt Whitman comes into mind....


Who Else?

I am picking up some favorite books~ friends and references, memories and time rewound. Then I push fast forward.  Let's open pages at random:

Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres by Henry Adams:

"The Archangel Loved Heights...."

"Science and Art are One...."

William Blake Selected Poems:

A Cradle Song,

"Sleep Sleep beauty bright

Dreaming o'er the joys of night...."

William Butler Yeats Poetry for Young People:

* The Lake Isle of Innisfree

"I shall arise and go now, and go to Innisfree
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows I will have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade...."

Twinning~

Basking in the afterglow of books well lived and written....

INSPIRED BY DREAM

Healing the Earth (detail)

*  Recently my friend, Judy J. started painting again!  The magic of dreams and paint came effortlessly.  It feels so good to once again hold a brush in your hands, to mix colors and ideas with ease and joy....pride of accomplishment...

Judy:  "In my dream I saw an Angel....she was feather light and she reached out with multicolored lights and shapes of all kinds, gently touching and surrounding the Earth."  

Cosmic Concepts

Texture, Emotion, Light Rays, Night, Day:  I saw feathers and plants and insects and light and color and flowers and comets.  

Action and Tranquility Combine.... Rotating the picture, brings a non-directional "difference,"  a shift in perspective and sense of location.

THE WHITE TRIANGLE

Treasure Hunt: I  found a triangle canvas in my favorite store....of course it said, "buy me!"

Unwrapping the canvas at home I thought:  What will appear?  What will I paint?  Of course it has to be unique, a focused image... special....

While waiting for directions for the picture, I hung the blank canvas in my kitchen area where I could observe the changing light!  Was I surprised!  Shadows and reflections radiated around the triangle....ever changing day and night.  Looking at a plain surface is calming, free of clutter, meditative.

Subtle shades of pale color appeared...palest lavender here...  mist and very quiet energy rays emitting from the top.

Plan, sketch, what next?  Nothing I pictured seemed to fit into the triangle shape?  

I'm on your sides~

All angles on deck...chuckle, I thought back to plane ("plain") geometry class....

Speed of Light and Quiet Stillness

New Beginnings!  What will appear?
