Terry Greene Art

The not-knowing is crucial to art, is what permits art to be made. Without the scanning process engendered by not-knowing, without the possibility of having the mind move in unanticipated directions, there would be no invention. ~Donald Barthelme

"one thinks with one's words, with one's hands, with brush and paint the idea is not behind the words or behind the painting but is in the words and the painting." ~ Merleau-Ponty

Day Three. I'm currently transitioning from dairy to oat milk. Just wondering how long it will be before I don't notice something's different. Anyone out there had a similar experience?

It’s strange how a picture comes together. Sometimes the seeds of an idea are sown, and it can take years before they blossom into something concrete.

“Man's first expression, like his first dream, was an aesthetic one. Speech was a poetic outcry rather than a demand for communication."

Thanks for sharing. I could almost imagine his paintings as the basis of an improv musical score.

Thank you @krisandherart.bsky.social I love what you are doing, the witnessing zines and the altered journals.

[rewind] We Dance To Pray, 2013, acrylic on drywall, 9 x 13 feet
Part of my 2013 exhibition, Presence, at the Bridgette Mayer Gallery (Philadelphia, PA). I wanted to do something different with this wall space instead of putting another painting on it. Read more: open.substack.com/pub/timmcfar...

I made a mini photo zine of pictures I have taken around my east Bronx neighborhood.

It's available on my Ko-fi as a digital download (link in my bio).

This looks really interesting, from @draftanddrawn.bsky.social

A painting composed of layers of pigment applied in broad horizontal brushstrokes, interspersed with monochrome circles.

I spent the afternoon looking at art in Birmingham, including the Mali Morris exhibition at IKON gallery. It was good to get lost for a while in the texture of her pigments.

Such beautifully vibrant work by the wonder painter Mali Morris. #contemporarypainter #colour #contemporaryart

A beautifully written account of an autumn walk, which becomes a way of reflecting on life, loss, time, and place.

The final group of the Brisons Auction Fundraiser…(for now)

Another six works for the Fundraising Auction for Brisons Veor - the wonderful artists residency perched on the very tip of Cape Cornwall and undergoing a much needed renovation and upgrade - to see it fit for the predations of climate!…

A few more cardboard shell-likes…

Thank you @mickey2004.bsky.social That's much appreciated!

If you know any young people (13–19 years old) please encourage them to do this — it's a great programme.

I'm one of the judges and those shortlisted will come to the @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social for a day of workshops!

It's one of the more useful dialogues to have. I often find that answers to current questions I have were answered a couple of years ago, waiting patiently for the time when I'm ready to see them, within the pages of an older sketchbook.

I was asked the other day how I felt about a new painting I’d just finished. All I could think to say was that I was grateful it had set me along a new path—a step on a journey (perhaps that’s all individual paintings are for the maker?). Let me know your thoughts.

TENDER — my word for 2026

Image: cyanotype print made with an acetate stencil

Thinking of Laurie Anderson & Lou Reed’s rules for living:
don’t be afraid, get a good bullshit detector, be really, really tender.

What's guiding you for the year ahead?
