FUEL: VIRTUAL = EVENTUAL

 

"Sometimes I get the distinct feeling, that all the ideas I spawn (but never find the time to realize or complete), are not lost to oblivion.

To accomplish the painstaking materialization of any idea, one needs a very special kind of ethereal energy. 

Being earth- and time-bound, results in immense quantities of 'lost potential'. However I believe that these virtual 'stillborn brainchildren' which all contain an energetic nucleus, are sacrificed in the flames of creativity and through Alchemy's transforming processes, become the fodder in the Universal furnace, that feeds the stream of energy which enables all of us, to ennoble our eventual production and create Art."

OBSTREPEROUS - G*TVOL

OBSTREPEROUS -G*TVOL

'My intention is to DECREASE the capacity of my 'online gadgets' and thereby INCREASE my physical and productive capacity and peace of mind.

I am totally weary of being kept 'busy' with irrelevancies and having to receive and receive and then delete and delete only to receive and receive.... never-ending....

Whats-app is a monster that ties it's victims to a treadmill. My original intention was to reserve it for family and emergency apps only. It is not free and I refuse to work to enslave myself even further.

Time is the most precious commodity I have.

How strange that the 2 people who refuse to go onto FB (where I can manage and choose and archive in my own time) are the 2 who habitually photo-bomb me on whats-app and then demand interaction if I don't reply immediately.

But now I've reached saturation point and the stage of being obstreperous.

Watching the incessant torrential rain in Tampa yesterday and the way it was described as 'tenderizing' or softening of the ground, for the eventual and inevitable cataclysmic extraction that would follow, is exactly the way I feel now. Thank you IRMA!'

Be proud of your work

If you are ashamed to share your work with people, you have two choices:

Either:

• Stop painting and do something else, or
• Paint a painting you will be proud to show off.
• When you paint you must be liberal in what you do
  
• but
  
• Don’t waste your time
• Don't waste your talent
• Don't waste your paint.
• USE IT! USE IT ALL!!!
