Paintings in the studio

Painting in process, drying outside (I love this picture-and when I was at this stage in the painting-this window in to the sky helped inspire the final painting)

This was a beautiful view that I had to pull over and be with for a moment.

Me and my friend Melorah Kuhn took a walk to see my installation, which no longer hangs! I found a note instead and am deciding do I call?

And lost graveyard #3 has been added to my map.

If I feel love thats all I need to know

Last week I began painting, photographing and being with my neighboring environment, it feels like falling in love.  While I was working I kept hearing the inner dialogue of "What are you making?...What's it supposed to be/look like?...What is this art?  Is the painting the art, is the action the art, does it matter?"  I arrived in the same place as I did in Iceland, that the experience of "being" is the art.  The process or participation with creation, inspiration and the environment is what is the art.  When I paint with the environment the painting is the product or documentation of an experience.  I believe art is primarily sensual and nature is too, intellect secondary.....so, perhaps feelings trump thoughts and if I feel love that's all I need to know.
