small ponderings: May 2007

http://smallponderings.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 29, 2007. This was in the home of one of the places I stayed on my big adventure. Taped overhead in a stairwell, so the whole family could see it every time they came up. It's about 20 years old, the artist is now all grown and manages an alternative gallery in a liberal and energetic town. The reminder is still valid every day. The clarity of children is pretty powerful stuff. Minds, like doors and windows, best function when open. Sunday, May 27, 2007. Saturday, May 26, 2007. Points and pl...

The Art Process: re-arrangment

http://theartprocess.blogspot.com/2012/09/re-arrangment.html

Life is about as new and unexpected as it has ever been for me. I have [most likely] no educational goals left. As it stands, I head towards being an artist. And as that. Stands, it's about unstable as a wine glass in the back of a pick up truck driving down Durkee Road. In my hometown. yes. Getting a bike has been the best decision of 2012.

The Art Process: June 2012

http://theartprocess.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Summer time has come with small, intermittent breaks from busy life. my job is feeling more natural, and less stressful in various ways. however, it's time consuming and exhausting. for the first time, i'll be glad when summer is over. my second job will end in august, and i feel i'll be able to move steadily in the direction of a newly-formed studio practice.

The Art Process: September 2012

http://theartprocess.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Up hill both ways. Keep your chin up buttercup. Just smile, sunshine. The longer you smile, the more my heart hurts. Just don't fall into indifference. Once, i loved it enough to invest two years of my life doing nothing but it. Once, i loved it enough to sign my financial future over to doing it. I trusted myself to make it work. hurting everyday i don't put efforts towards making it work. Overwhelmed with guilt and overcome with homesickness. Keep your chin up. This isn't as good as it get. Artist, pai...

Tuesday, July 31, 2007. The stuff I think about. Workdays leave me mostly nonverbal and non-literate, but this is some of the stuff on my mind lately. And here is some of the stuff I've done lately. Saturday, July 28, 2007. However brief, though I intend to do a more substantial one later (as soon as I wrote that flashing on the thought that intention frequently gets derailed lately.). And I'm adding a link this morning (prompting this post)- a fellow named Tucker Nichols. Wednesday, July 25, 2007. Appar...

small ponderings: February 2007

http://smallponderings.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 27, 2007. Hardly no time to think, much less write. A lot of work, a little reading, a little sleep. The wheel goes round. So just to keep the lines open I thought I'd pass on bits of reading. We'll call it OPP (Other People's Ponderings). The object of art is not to make saleable pictures. It is to save yourself. The point of being an artist is that you may live.". Monday, February 26, 2007. Wisdom where you find it. One grows tired of the hoax of up. Harrison and Kooser, Braided Creek.

small ponderings: fini.

http://smallponderings.blogspot.com/2007/09/fini.html

Monday, September 03, 2007. Time to stop pondering and start doing. I am an artister, my work is artisting, as often and as much as possible. Real life is analog, a messy business if done right. An oldish quote from Wes Modes which resonates quite strongly these days:. The world full of joy and pain and dirt and unexpected surprises.". Reaching a harmonious agreement with the tools and making more stuff, that's where I'm heading. Look thru the ether window, follow along, and join in if you're so inclined.

The Art Process: May 2012

http://theartprocess.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

No more going through the motions. No more sleep walking. I feel there's so much I carry with me; maybe from a past life, maybe engrained in me by parental figures. I am done with the ritualistic and nearly automated responses to everything in my life. I take responsibility for my actions, however, I don't fully understand why I have the equal emotional reactions to similar situations. Jealousy, bitterness, hatred, ill-will. Like in my yoga practice. Intention and response and awareness all. I've complet...
