GIVING THANKS TODAY!

"The images of peace are ephemeral. The language of peace is subtle. The reasons for peace, the definitions of peace, the very idea of peace have to be invented, and invented again.

Children, everybody, here's what to do during war: In a time of destruction, create something. A poem. A parade. A community. A school. A vow. A moral principle. One peaceful moment."

—From THE FIFTH BOOK OF PEACE, Maxine Hong Kingston

8/23/11 - PEDERNAL - 24"x96" Original Oil on Belgian Linen.  Work in Progress - The Glazes.  This is a diptych - the canvases are put together now so that I can have uniform colors in the glazes between the two canvases.  I previously said I would work on these canvases separately and discovered that is not an option.  Will work with both canvases on the easel and then I can bounce the colors back and forth between the canvases for a more uniform color quality.  DC

      "Forward and backward I have gone, and for me it has been an immense journey..... Perhaps there is no meaning in it at all, the thought went on inside me, save that of the journey itself, so far as men can see.  It has altered with the chances of life, and the chances brought us here; but it was a journey -- long, perhaps -- but a good journey under a pleasant sun.  Do not look for the purpose.  Loren Eiseley,  Naturalist - THE IMMENSE JOURNEY.
