Art- the quality, production, expression, or realm of what is beautiful or of more than ordinary significance. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Tolstoy said "beauty is something that pleases without
inciting desire". I'm paraphrasing .....
Beauty has nothing to do with the physical senses and objects but is perceiving the presence of invisible
quality, the life of all that is.

      POWER OF THE OPEN HAND

   Let's consider the things we grip tightly
    and give them life form, say a bird
    Now we've crushed out the breath
    All we're left with is death
    And never opening the hand
    We don't see where we stand
    That all we possess is a corpse
    Then we experience one who is
    different
    A hand that holds nothing at all
    Tho it is empty indeed
    There is no sense of need
    This understanding of power
    They are able to shower
    On the hand laying open to receive

Mountains high, valleys low, abstracted
for statement. Waterways and by ways,
caverns and clouds. Bastille, El dorado, Boulder Falls. Hand to the sky, you know why. Eye within an eye, the space in between and a leaf among stones.

I know, it looks like Van Gogh. He is my favorite along with Munch. But I love many others, and hate very few ( if any). Oh yes, Landscape sculpted expressive. Some are thick, some are thin. Colorado mountains, and blue streams. Textured and smooth. Paintings on canvas, Paintings on hardboard. Pink adobe. A bridge. A moon over a lavender cactus. Lots of color. Lots of glazes. Some are prints.

This period of time was one of discovery thru suffering loss Smile
Put a good face on it. Don't let "them" see you sweat. Them are those you don't know, until you sweat, then its too late. Smile under pressure. Smile under siege. Wind and waves. Mood swings. Most have poems
to go with the image as prints.

Chinese symbol for war. Chinese
   symbol for peace. More to come in
   the future. Art on canvas, Art on board.   Yin Yang
done in abstract. Surrounding the
harmony symbol, I-Ching , eight
physical elements. Iching water, wind, heaven, earth, fire, lake, mountain, life. Art work done with multiple glazes and extrapolated bars. They have several uses, I'm told. But my purpose is to show these visible elements rising
    from their invisible source.

                    Poem and Painting
             LEAP OF FAITH
               Only the fluid.......
               The freed
                   Reckless in joy
                  Such acrobatics dare
                   The leap of faith
                   Spanning chasms
                   of mans finite mind
                   Linking mortal coil
                   with the eternal way

Art gifts for graduation, for anniversaries, paroles, passing grades, lost teeth, first words, as gratitude, as bargaining chips.

To say I'm sorry, I love you, forgive me, don't forget me. Make a statement, make a point, make a sentence. To be different, to blend in with the crowd .
