And I must go. I am back at camp in the ADK. It is a wonderful time away to observe & reflect. I will not be posting on the blog for the next two weeks as I breathe the balsam air & enjoy the lake. Happy Monday Y'all!

Off Road

I was not off road. But my GPS was programmed to say that I was. In the same instance it knew my destination was ahead. I find this an interesting confabulation (to full in gaps in memory by fabrication) of information. But the point I want to make is outside of my GPS. What facts do we have about any situation? We have what we see, I clearly saw a road in front of me; we have what we are told, you are off road. Things to think about in this media saturated time. Happy Thursday Y'all!

Documented Moments

Watching the pelicans soar along the treeline over the beach is so fun! There are larger flocks that cause everyone out there to pause & watch them ride the currents. My father is convinced that they are just out there having fun! Another things that was unusual to observe was a confluence of waters. Johnson Creek meets the Atlantic ocean. Somedays it is mellow & other times the waters churn dependent on tide & rainfall. It is wonderful to observe. Happy Tuesday Y'all!

Sand Patterns

There are so many patterns to be found in the sand I felt myself paging thru art history & design patterns as I walked the beach. Orla Kiely patterns from fourwheeler tracks, chevrons from tide recession, abstract line drawings from clams & a host of other patterns. I am convinced that enduring pattern & design comes from looking at the natural world. Happy Monday Y'all!

There are still places where you can escape the digital ethers, yes those places really still exist & I am headed to one of them for the next week. Rest assured there will be lots of photos to show next week. Peace Y'all!

Horizon Paintings

Yesterday I tried photographing the horizon paintings in the rain. It was an adventure. I have loved seeing the aerial views in the woods & hoped that I would achieve a similar effect with the horizon paintings... Well not yet... It still needs some practice & perhaps different weather conditions. So I will be on the lookout for the right weather: wind, light, & water color. Happy Friday Y'all!

Get Out of the Way

"We must begin by laying aside as completely as we can all our own preconceptions, interests, and associations... We must look, and go on looking till we have certainly seen exactly what is there... The first demand any work of art makes upon us is to surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way." - C. S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism 
Lewis has explained in succinct language what I was expounding on yesterday regarding the creation process. He approaches from the viewers perspective, but the attitude must be the same: Get yourself out of the way! Happy Thursday Y'all!

Conversation Facilator

Yesterday I was explaining my process to an acquaintance and said, "It is all a conversation between the paint & brush & salt & paper." I am there to try and facilitate it. They looked at me askance and laughed. However, I stand by that idea: a conversation is occurring between my materials; I am there to facilitate by providing supplies & helping the participants move around. Like the rest of us the paintings have been enjoying the sunshine this summer. Hence another aerial view al fresco. Happy Wednesday Y'all!

Raindrops on Roses, that lovely line from The Sound of Music comes to mind. This backyard rose is the most luscious shade of orange right now, so do enjoy this photo. Happy Tuesday Y'all!
