    Rolled Paintings
    paintings out of the tube

    Thanks to so many people at the US Go Congress last week in San Diego, who were immensely supportive of my work and said so many kind words.  This blog/gallery exists solely because of encouragement and suggestions I received to make my work available online.

    This photo below is of a partly completed painting (22″ x 30″) that I began thinking about at the Congress, and started working on this week.

    I hope everyone had a nice week in San Diego, and had safe travels home.

    1. The Two Subtle Foundations
    1. formlessness
    2. unity

    2. The Three Subtle Dynamics of Change
    1. harmony/disharmony
    2. balance/imbalance
    3. stillness/motion

    3. The Two Subtle Strategies
    1. taking form
    2. choose the incommensurable instead of the opposite

    “Do not abandon the roots to govern the branches.”

  • Five Types of Perception

    Clear Perception is to see what is there and to not see what is not there.

    Deep Perception is to see beneath the surface and the apparent.

    Profound Perception is to see beyond patterns.

    Imaginative Perception is to see what is not there and to not see what is there.

    Mindfulness is to be entirely attentive each moment.

    Beyond brambles
    of habits and desire: something interesting
    I can’t quite see.

  • Something New

    Even the most gentle breeze
    stirs new spring flowers: eyes
    just eight months old.
