Pennsylvania

Damien and I and Bella the Puerto Rican dog drove down to Pine Lot Camp this past weekend for a romantic getaway and a quiet place to study. We took some nice walks in the brilliant colors of autumn, Damien cooked up a gourmet meal, we drank a bottle of wine that was a gift from our wedding, and kept warm in front of the wood burning stove. Best place to study on earth.

Glad you like it Josh, I know you are in critical essay mode yourself. Hi to the fam from me and Damien. Also been periodically looking at your blog and can't get over your paintings! I'm gonna try to learn how to make links to other blogs from mine and then put yours on it so all my peeps can see your beautiful work.

The paintings are changing quickly. I'm sorry I pay so little attention to my blog. I used to post often but Grad school is kicking my ass.
I wonder. I was speaking with one of my professors today about painting and poetry and I told him that it's difficult for me to respond quickly to poetry. I'd like the images in my paintings to function in the same way the words do in your poems so that the space between the images and the words oscillate back and forth, in a sense sucking you in between the words and images and forcing you to look side to side up and down. It's hard to articulate all of our discussion but it was a good train of thought for a couple minutes. I'll post newer pictures soon.

This is the code for links, but I have substituted ( for this< and ) for this >. You could just copy and past the code below and replace and parentheses () with greater or less than marks <>. This will be under the "template" heading of your blog and then inside that link it would be in the "side bar" area of html.

The html code for links is

(a href="put url of blog here in quotes")put name of blog here without quotes(/a).

Hope this helps.

That sounds like a conversation that I would have liked to listen in on. Very interesting about how to read a painting, so to speak. I think people have ideas about how to view art and how to view poetry that could be limiting their experience. I know everyone is entitled to thier own, but, you could, maybe, advise people how to view your individual pieces, and well, it could be an interesting prompt to interpretation. I know you've done a lot of work with words right there in your art, with Tully and those collaborations I saw a while back. Because there were words, it kind of had that effect on me like a poem. I look forward to seeing more! Thanks for your advise about the links, I'm gonna try that now. Hi to MJ & Harper & keep rockin the Georgian art world!
