Lots of Forest based Art work has resulted in several ‘Silver Birch’ works. Nature abstracted and the energy of the essence of Nature itself. Pollock referred to ‘ energy and motion made visible ‘ which is relevant to my thoughts. So we have EC202 ‘Silver Birch #6’ #art #forest #landscape #prints

15,000 people protested fascism and racism in Amsterdam yesterday.

This energy right here.

walking in morning light across fields and being caught in a shower of rain. A total involvement in everything. A pictorial Poem to convey the experience of ‘Qiyan’ a Daoist aesthetic. Everything seemed to be moving and changing. So we have EC 167 ‘Summer Rain’ #art #dao #landscape #prints

EC 273 ‘ in yellow ‘ A response to reviewing the Art of Unkoku Toeki. Also - The Japanese concept of "ma" (間). If time is restricted, if we have no space we cannot breath, we cannot grow. Thoughts on finding that space - free of noise. Every day so we can function. #art #ma #japaneseart #toeki

Looking at landscape and thinking about the slow geological changes over millennia.Thinking about the artistic ideas of Shizen 自然. I always feel strangely mystical looking at an evening landscape. We humans are in the position of being between placed Heaven and Earth #landscape #art #prints #shizen

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Always been an admirer of the seemingly effortless swirling landscapes of Tang & Song dynasty- ( Zhao Menfu - Wang Hui - Zhao Min) Also the atmospheric landscapes of Samual Palmer ( eg. ‘ The Valley with Corn ) - so I thought I would pick up a black pen and imagine something. #art #landscape #ink

Feeling inspired by Kirchner woodblock prints and wonderful black and white work of Kiyoshi Saito ( Winter in Aizu ) - I pick up my best black pen. Marks & lines straight from the imagination. #art #ink #landscape #deer #prints
