Thanks for letting me know, and thanks to Dan for letting us know about your great website, too. Good to have you "back."<br /><br />Hi Martha - Thank you! And, thank you Casey for the big nod :-)<br /><br />Hi P.R. - Thank you!<br /><br />Hi Mark - Thank you! You're adept at "reading" these paintings, especially the last one.

Each series builds upon the previous one.<br /><br />Hi Dana - Thank you! I think that we all carry within us the "gift" of artistic expression. It's a matter of unleashing it. That's why I decided to rely on intuition with the series rather than observed references. This forced me to go to the core of who I am and express it outwardly. Honestly, I get more pleasure from this than from my previous work.<br /><br />Hi Joyful - Thank you! The point, as I mentioned in my response to Dana, is to use whatever technical skills you've achieved and your intuition. I think that the deep recessed of our brains, and even the near consciousness, contain a wealth of information that we can translate into images. I haven't tapped much of this yet, but I want to keep working on it. However, that work also needs to be fun, and this IS!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037549177881696434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-31269236081002645932010-05-22T21:40:21.437-04:002010-05-22T21:40:21.437-04:00There is not much I can add to the comments except...There is not much I can add to the comments except to say that these paintings are so exceptional and thought provoking.

You've given me so much encouragement to continue and I can't thank you enough!!<br /><br />Hi Celeste - thank you! The great breakthrough for me in this series is creating "transformations" and the only way I could do that was by using my intuition. You're very astute in seeing that!<br /><br />Hi Casey - thank you! Your analysis of "Conservation" is right on target. It was a delicate balance that I wasnt' entirely certain about at first, but I think it works. <br /><br />Hi Dan - Thank you! Every five years or so I conjure up a new concept and approach for a series. Each one is a big departure from the previous. The emergence of this particular series was as difficult as other's I've pursued in the past. It took me all winter, and it took me 58 years! <br /><br />Hi Annelein - Thank you! Escher's manipulations of perspective and orientation are mind-boggling. I don't know how he did it!<br /><br />Hi Hallie - Thank you! Ever since I studied with Susan Webb Tregay years ago, I've worked in a series. Now, it's the most important way to move forward.<br /><br />Hi Stan - Thank you! One of the greatest pleasures for me is focused concentration. It's rewarding to think as deeply as my few brain cells will allow.<br /><br />Hi Don - Thank you! I'm rewarded by your constant and generous support :-)<br /><br />Hi Carolyn - Thank you! The last one has a semblance of a tower, but that was purely accidental.

Last night I watched a dvd "The Mysteries of Picasso"--This work reminds me so much of him--how Picasso "transformed" one thing into another (it is a breathtaking film)--that seems to be what you have done with these complex (and beautiful) paintings--(gave yourself freedom to "free associate") --they are "moving" both in content and emotionally.
