Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Thank you Sir Gregory. The painting in the attachment needs to be observed to be real. The only thing paintings are good for is to be looked at. Love Bobby G. NondualitySalon, Gregory Goode <goode@D...> wrote: > I like what you say, Bobby G.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Bobby, If I may most respectfully add to your observation: paintings are good for a lot more than just looking, but these can only begin with looking. Like you, I am way more visual than verbal, it's my preferred language, so to speak. When we went to a used book sale recently, my foraging resulted in a couple boxes. The big score was a set of a dozen portfolios by the Metropolitan with many loose art prints in each book for $10 the set. A book of mostly photos from 1900-1910. Garden books with photos, of course. It didn't quite dawn on me how visual most were till looking them over at home. I think anyone can learn to 'see like an artist', tho it comes naturally to some. Kinda like how when we enter a forest, we notice a vague foresty smell, but to a wolf there is the rich complexity of thousands of distinguishable odors. Smell is his language, so there's more to enjoy with his awareness. Your paintings show us a richer seeing. Love, Glo --------Thank you Sir Gregory.
