Mental Noodlings on Art, Life and Other Curiosities. Thursday, July 27, 2006. Iguazu Falls, Argentina. Photo: Michael John Meehan. Found a strange, still, stigmata of water on the studio floor when I got in yesterday morning. Traced it to the wall, but the water was also still (? Not quite as dramatic as Iguazu, but definitely time-consuming and annoying. Luckily nothing was damaged. Posted by mindsprinter at Thursday, July 27, 2006. Saturday, July 15, 2006. If you really set your mind to it. . . A word ...

Attempting to coalesce art and yoga. Friday, April 13, 2007. Nonviolent Communication as it relates to Art-Making. This week I went to a very interesting workshop with Marshall Rosenburg, the creator of " Nonviolent Communication. Nonviolent Communication is a method of mindful communication, aimed at reducing anger, guilt, blame, and judgment. It's quite interesting. Many thought-provoking points were made, but a few things caught my attention in relationship to art and art-making. It's so important to ...

Attempting to coalesce art and yoga. Sunday, March 04, 2007. Well, my foot is back in the water. I've been off blogging about all my vegan meals. For a while. fun, but rarely so thought provoking as my fellow art bloggers. So, it feels good to step back into the pool. Thanks to an online converstaion with Art Powerlines. For spurring me on. When I started my series of world leader portraits. I felt maybe I should try some other ideas. but thus far nothing has been granted to me. So, I've picked u...All a...

Attempting to coalesce art and yoga. Saturday, March 31, 2007. His Majesty King Bhumipol Adulyadej of Thailand. My latest painting. I may tweak the background a tiny bit more, but it's basically complete. It's amazing how some of these youngsters just creep into my consciousness and the painting comes out so easily. Other times it can be quite an effort of endurance. This one just took a couple days. Such an enchanting expression in his eyes - quite hard to read. Posted by Amey at 11:32 PM. We all know t...

Attempting to coalesce art and yoga. Sunday, August 27, 2006. Richter and Bonnard and Arsty Musings.

springs and wells: May 2006

Attempting to coalesce art and yoga. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. I picked this name for my new blog from a recent insight that came to me. about the nature and balance of inspiration and discipline. During my yoga practice, I was reflecting on the way that on some days, and in certain postures, inspiration arises from the depths - and bursts forth into the light of day. Breaks through the crust on its own. By the way, is it even discipline at this point, if it has become so natural? Posted by Amey at 10:29 PM.

Attempting to coalesce art and yoga. Sunday, October 15, 2006. I have been reflecting on the concept/word "reflection". I love that reflecting is both an action and a consequence of an action, all at once. I love that a reflection is an after-effect with a life of its own. I love that our actions "reflect upon" us. And yet, that we can also pause to reflect upon our actions. When we were travelling in Croatia and Bosnia last month, I noticed that I was drawn to reflections and secondary effects. An image...

Ode to the Blue Collar Artist. Not much time for blogging today, so i thought i would keep with the Beatles theme for a moment and recall the words of John Lennon, who, if blogging existed in the 70s, probably would have never picked up his guitar again. So, guest blogging from beyond the grave. i turn it over to John. As soon as you're born they make you feel small. By giving you no time instead of it all. Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all. They hurt you at home and they hit you at school.

US Apartheid (version: Mexico). Last week I had to take a day trip to the US/Mexico border (well, let's face it. the US Border) to get some shots for a couple of paintings. From my home, I can leave at 10:30am, drive for 30 minutes, cross the border by foot, take photos, and return home by 2:30. Sorry for the blow outs on some, still playing with different options. and i was going as fast as i could on this trip). A revolving door when going it by foot into. I had to include this wall because it is stunn...
