Here’s a picture I finished yesterday. It incorporates a page from an antique church bible. Size approx. 21 X 17 inches ( 44 X 54 Cm)
Today I’m just a little excited. I’ve been here on Steemit just over a week . I’ve read some really intelligent, articulate articles and “talked” to the authors, I’ve been asked to collaborate on a possible project and it would appear that I have been paid to do this.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if more of our world could be more creative and collaborative rather than confused and conflicted?
They say that in ancient times, in a time before time existed, things were better.
They say a lot they do.
But forgetting the spin of politics, avoiding the din of advertising, beyond the marketing myth, in reality ours is a time of pragmatic fumbling. Writhing and wriggling, ducking and diving.
Some call this chaos but in this place, in the spaces between the things taken as facts, despite the half baked notions sold as full course menus , wisdom can still be found. Between the undrawn lines , amongst the twists and turns, and the swirl of everyday compromise lies a very real and often hidden beauty.
Sometimes its a subtle understatement, an understanding, a mixture of everything and nothing, a confusing joy, a curiosity, a wonder awaiting discovery. A silent smile that says, "ah".
