An abstracted design suggestive of organic growth. Looking at plants in the garden for inspiration. ‘Spirit in form ‘

Shen 神- This is the spirit. “ spirit is formless but resides in form .. “ Tsung Ping ( 375-444 AD ). An English experiment of ‘likeness’ by incomplete suggestion. A relaxed, accepting way of looking at the garden.
EC 197 ‘Garden Sketching.

An abstracted composition suggestive of organic garden forms. Plants. A fluid Free flow form of blue. Green purple pink and associated tones. A poem about the spirit in form.

A synthesis of various Art influences.
Qi Bashi 齐白石 (Chinese 1864-1957) ‘ likeness in Spirit thro unlikeness in form ‘ which may have come from Song Bin ( AD 375 - 443) -“ Spirit is formless but resides in form”
A composition of garden forms.

Abstracted and simplified forest sketch featuring Silver Birches and various tones of green. Silver Birch trees in a forest, suggestive of shadows, depth and movement.

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’

15,000 people protested fascism and racism in Amsterdam yesterday.

This energy right here.

An abstracted landscape composition suggestive of fields, hedgerow , blue sky and light rain. Freely applied colours of pink, blue, and green tones. Very unstructured and full of the energy of the application technique.

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’

Abstract landscape in yellow - suggestive of space and silence.

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.

An abstracted - free flowing landscape. Foreground of green shapes and tones with a blue sky. The blue having marks and blobs suggestive of the Moon and Stars - A contemplation on geological time and the creative ideas of ‘Shizen’ - which is to say spontaneous creative energy of nature itself.

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.

A memory of a sunlight conservatory. The energy of light and forms randomly pulled together . A complicated interior of shapes and colours . Half light, in a pale yellow . Half shade in pale olive green.

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.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Head tilted back eyes semi closed as if dreaming. An explosion and swirling of random red based colours, hinting at a bright blue background. The same swirl of colours meld into the composition of the tilted head - creating a connection. Suggestive of deep meditative thought. One of a series of ‘portrait’ works.

On reading Walt Whitman: Leaves of Grass -
‘ Whoever you are holding me now in hand’.
