    Art and Continuity

     

    Creative Continuity: the practice of consistent expression.

    I work on a painting and words that accompany music. As I listen or read, I walk the line between trust and doubt. With music the same is true for harmony and discord as they unfold, but light is different. Even though it takes time to discover a painting, it exists in its entirety before me.

    At 100 Artworks you will always see the image first, before words, then sound.

    The Beauty of Not Seeing

     

    My morning begins, darkened by the mist of mid December.

    Some of the most beautiful landscapes I have witnessed are defined as much by what is hidden as by what is seen - beauty seems bound with discovery and growth. When I see a painting, hear music, or read a poem, the enchantment is my ever-changing experience. Not seeing all at once I have the time to breathe, the time to be more open to those things I may not otherwise take in.

    Friendship and The Passing of Time

     

    When I meet with a friend, time looses all strength to separate. We start again where we left off as if not a moment has passed.

    Friendship is defined by trust. Trust that we can be ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses welcomed and expressed in equal measure. Trust is being unafraid.

    Trust takes time, is lost in a moment, but when it lives between friends, all sense of time is lost.

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
