This deserves more admiration than any banal review of her blog could ever express. Impressive and humbling.

I have ambivalent feelings about this painting. Strongly ambivalent feelings.
If I look at it in its entirety I am not particularly taken with it. I don't think it is especially beautiful. Yes the composition is fine and the colours, though not quite to my taste, are very well balanced. And there is an interesting, but not original, thing going on with texture. And yet I find it an absolutely compelling piece of art. I feel myself drawn to sections of it and am left marveling at its brilliance.
Take the section of the horizon for example, blindingly incandescent in the midday sun. In isolation it is almost photo-realistic in its depiction of a rugged sandy foreground, albeit a distant foreground, and the flatness of the distant sky beyond; hazy below and more saturated towards the zenith. Or the bottom left-hand corner: it could be some dusty quarry somewhere; is there an illusion of a murky watery edge near the foregound of the picture? And the black oily stains. Hurtfully polluting the landscape and drawing your eye in. All of it could be real. It is quite simply brilliant. And yet, I look at it and I feel robbed, deprived of the joy that this painting should bring me. Wonderful.

Gormely, Gormley, Gormely... Antony Gormely.
Few artists do repetitive as brilliantly as Antony Gormley.

The Nice Things of the Day.
Every night I make a point of recalling with my children
what nice things have happened to them during the day.
I want them to go to sleep with a positive thought.

Encouraged by the perfection of Lover's Point, The Storm,
I went looking for more Vince Stamey photography and found this:
Nightfall
Menacingly dark, no, black, sky.
Photoshopped or not, I don't care, it works so very well for me.
The impression is of night actually falling from the sky, suddenly.

I was talking briefly with a friend about transient art (though not in such explicit terms). So, spurred on by the idea I looked for examples of it and found several entries with similar tags. Anyway, it soon occurred to me that all art is transient, but I did find these gunpowder drawings by Cai Guo-Qiang. More than transient art, this put me in mind more specifically about the transient, no, instantaneous, aspect of producing this work. An act that is unique to humans, yet much more temporary than the finished product which gives pleasure to many, the act of art creation is essentially a private event. I can only wonder at the fugacity of that feeling for the artist in this case: instant gratification, but also instant transition past that wonderful feeling.

This has an almost geological character;
in fact, if I didn't know it was a plant I would have guessed at rock strata.

Had the pleasure of both having several drinks with this man and listen to him sing his mellow songs.
