5”x7” Oil on panel On seeing. In doing this exerc 5”x7” Oil on panel
On seeing.
In doing this exercise, I am surrendering to the notion that I have any control over
some big issues, which trouble and affect me today. Such as, the economic
problem, the healthcare system, our wars, religious and racial strife, natural
disasters and suffering. My world is quite small now and I have the inspiration to
examine it in detail and on a very personal level. After all, I am an artist and that
is my job.
In a way, I am reminded of the cartoon image of Nero fiddling while Rome
burned. This makes perfect sense to me.
I don’t know what meditation is like for the Buddhist monks or the highly
enlightened but painting these is like this: there is a time and a spot to work in the
house, that is predetermined so that when the time arrives I simply go to the spot
and the tools are there. The subject for that time has already been chosen so I
don’t have to decide or think about it, I just look at it. Maybe I turn it around a bit
in the light to see what it looks like. I may have thought about what it looks like
before but now I see what it looks like.
Then I begin to paint it and spend the next 4 hours or so wrestling wildly back and
fourth between being in control, and being out of control of my ability to make
color look like what I am seeing. Nothing else enters my mind.
