Paint by Numbers




"To paint well is simply this: to put color in the right place." Paul Klee

















       The imagination has no limits. It is our window into our subconscious in which worlds are built. The basis of our dreams and fears. It is the Alpha and Omega. It is the color of sound, the smell of opportunity, the gate to the sublime. When the mind is infected with imagination we can soar through skies. Wade through they abyssal waters of our hemispheres. Winding, twisting, rocketing into a wall of reality, bound by no laws, or regulations. Simply free. When the mind begins to select its voyage, it holds you hostage. That is what has happened to me in this class. I have become obsessed with the imagery and sounds of Stevenian word. We talked in class about the visual influences that inspired WS. What is it that your skin feel when you read the lines? Do you hear a voice describing Hues and shades? Klee said it best, Put the color in the right place. Only you can control that world within by giving it structure, giving it breath, giving it spirit. You are the enlightenment. all you have to do is let go of what becomes before and after.
