I'm not sure what this means or how it will manifest itself, but I'm starting to feel colors. Painting has always been for me an act of seeing what it truly there. I get the sense that I will do that still, but start to paint what I feel from what I see as well. Seeing things as they truly are is hard enough. Painting what I feel is much harder. It requires more sensitivity and more listening. More quiet to hear. It requires more trust. It also seems like it will become more about the relationships between things. So one of these days when I'm actually, you know, doing art instead of endless programming, I'll paint again. We'll see what comes of it. |
