Far vision>>>>>

A while back when there was a Sidney Nolan exhibition on at the Art Gallery of NSW. There was a small brochure printed, I had one somehow from somewhere. On the cover was photograph of him in the studio and very far in the background was painting leaning against something it was very insignificant in the image. However when I saw this painting in the background of this photo I was totally locked in with it and inspired about something in terms of shape and how the paint was to go down. I went to the exhibit and I really liked the show but I was more inspired totally from this image that was about 2cm or less.

I find this happens often, another example I was pulled over on the side of the road (im not sure why) and i was looking through the window of a restaurant, quite far back on the side wall i saw an image which was so intriguing to me. From the blurriness of distance I saw a smallish painting of a woman sanding on a beach the dark blue ocean intersecting her and a sky above, from the top of the sky was a huge dog leaping down from the sky with its paws outstretched above her, what a great painting, the figure of the lady and the dog from the sky. I told my wife in the car that I needed to take a closer look at this and I quickly went in side to see it for myself, as I approached the image, it started to dissemble itself and suddenly I was looking at a generic image of a rose..

Out working thinking about my grandfather who is buried say 200 meters away, I’ve only visited once the plaque that bears his name- I’m so busy and there is do much to do again today, as I speed away from the gates of the cemetery.

People are so funny =, some one can paint 1000 paintings, pour him self into each of them, and she or he can then win a little art prize and it means more to most people most of the time. = Table 18, from a wedding recently:

I received the art spectrum prize, good feeling to be able to open all these boxes of paint, thank you AS. Opening the 500ml buckets removing the lid smelling the saffron oil. I just stuck my thumb in the Naples yellow. This seems to be the color that the sun turns things in to, there’s dark green which would be a the colour of grass in the shade, mixed with naples yellow the grass is now in the sun. The black tar road often seems to me to be a kind of darkened naples yellow, reflecting off the black, whens the suns around…

dammed.

Having these weird sensations while driving and i will actually feel it, that in the deeper part of my upper thigh, all of a sudden a large crouching spider appears in a sort of spontaneous way as if from nowhere, until I push the feeling away of these dammed thoughts.

I found a drawing on the floor in my house, (because the kids go though things when we are sleeping, and bring things out), that I havent seen for years. Interesting process on a clear plastic sheet, I used a needle to scratch lines into it, then I rubbed black ink or something and it stained the scratched lines, like a tattoo.
