Water

November 10, 2010

Today I am thinking about water.  

It is raining and drizzling and wet and late autumn.

There is a little bridge over a winter creek that I must cross to reach my studio.  When I was thinking about building this bridge, I thought a slightly elevated and curved profile would be more lovely to look at.  It was summer.  And it was dry.  

Now it is almost winter - and everything is watery.  The creek is roaring along nicely under the pretty curved bridge.  But the bridge is very slippery - wet cedar. 

I should have built a flat bridge. This grates on me. 

"The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without trying to.  It is content with the low places that people disdain.  Thus it is like the Tao.
In dwelling, live close to the ground.  In thinking, keep to the simple...."  Tao Te Ching Translated by Stephen Mitchell

Studio Result:

The best colour for today is Ultramarine Blue Deep.

Connie's Journal

From time to time I jot down my thoughts or observations.  I often find that painting begins with contemplation.
