"Magnificent moments of color dance in patterns of light. The glance is in less than a twinkling of the eye as the ocean constantly bursts into another form never to be exactly captured as it was. The surrounding sounds, the wind sweeping across one’s face are all elements of a backdrop of complexity that you gaze through. The stillness or the rage, the changing of moods and direction, the apprehension of the unknown is exposed the more you involve yourself. The untamed rage and unclaimed beauty of the ocean is ever changing. It always allows the heart and mind to wander freely in one’s head without a grasp of negative thoughts until they are directed to do so.

Captured ocean paintings give us that glimpse. They allow recall of events, circumstances and human interaction of all kinds. This interface crosses all boundaries. Like the ocean, ocean paintings may represent and communicate the permanence of “what was, what is, and what might be”. They can, similar to the ocean, carve, contour, shatter, and shake the answers of the questions about one’s life.

As the world’s wisest man once said, “Fear God and keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment including the hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

We’ll speak more on these things in the future…"


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“The rapid pace of life and days all go too fast
Never an instant replay, memory is what lasts
Thoughts and dreams soon run out of time
As the power of human actions overrun the mind
But who knows what is counted as it fades
All coming from choices chosen or choices made!”

“Find beautiful paintings that bring wellsprings of life and feed yourself on the positives we need. May you have a wonderful week! Talk again soon.”

" The awareness that we live in a time of pedaling bicycles in the midst of expressway traffic has been driven home of late. We’re getting further away from our foundational routes and we’re serving up children who haven’t been trained, don’t have a clue and are being prepared to join a mindless ever numbing society. It’s “all good” though, right?

BMW retools its manufacturing and implements all kinds of unique human help systems to allow older adults to work the line. What happens in this unique experiment is that productivity, attendance, quality, workmanship and myriad of other benefits to the company go through the roof.

Of course machines will take over. You don’t think humans will do the work do you? We are suffering over lawyered legislation, over taxation, unprecedented greed, moral decay which have all led to the overwhelming necessity of jobs for both partners. Church exodus, tolerance of decayed values and living one way and telling our children we don’t approve yet condoning everything they do. We don’t have time or worse don’t even have the mindset to care. We’re losing or we have totally lost our way.

“Train up a child in the way they should go and they will not depart from it” … The real question is how have we trained them and continue to train them.

Artists and especially art teachers have taken the easy road, accepted that self focused position that it’s about their work and scrapped the foundational training of great creativity and thinking for torn, paint laden shirts and the smell of turpentine.

Wake up before the only great paintings we have are done by dead painters."


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“So easy to pick up and go another way
Forgetting the rules of the game and how to play
Doesn’t matter; doesn’t suit the way you feel
Carry on till something else catches your appeal
Didn’t matter who you damaged or what you do
Only thing that matters is it’s about you!”

“If you find a painting that captures your heart, give your heart to it. Priceless is the value of the relationship when true love is its foundation. Don’t throw it away. Have a great week!”

"Do the birds sing out of tune and are you staying with your loneliness? As September breaks forth the fall and fall leads to winter, we are about to embark on one of the most beautiful times of the year, especially if you happened to be in New England. “Hello Color and Beauty!”

Over the next three to five weeks we will be in for one of the most spectacular shows in the world and it’s all free. Yes, it could cost some gas and lodging and meals, but aside from that the richness of this year’s color should be magnificent. The trees will go through some confusing metamorphosis and the leaves will die as the green of yesterday brings forth the colors of tomorrow and then the brown and grays of death and decay set in.

“7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” 1 John 4:7-10

Go see the show and in it see how wonderful, amazing, spectacular, beautiful, awesome and wonderful God is in His love for us to bring forth this marvelous time of the year. Capture it in picture, see it in paintings and enjoy it and all its reminders each and every day!

We’ll talk more soon……"


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“We wonder why we can’t see and it’s so dark
Too often we’ve taken vows as lightly as a lark
Breathe deep the measure of God’s grace
Look closely at His creations in this place
Open your heart to Him in all you do
For He is waiting to show His love for you!”

“Paintings that bring forth the spectacular colors of the season color you with positives. See them and experience them for yourself. Have a wonderful week and take good care!”

Sept 5th “The Heat & The Storms”

"It’s been an interesting few days here on Cape Cod with the big threat of Hurricane Earl and the record heat just prior to its arrival. With the “can’t move cause I’m stuck” conditions and the “this is the largest hurricane in history”, you get a glimpse into the human condition of today, like no other time.

Just about everybody on Cape Cod has this easy, breezy mentality when it comes to heat. Years ago it was hot and then late in the afternoon it would cool due to the sea breezes. I don’t know if that’s changed but it sure seems to have. It’s just been so hot that the difference between 90 degrees during the day and 75 – 80 degrees at night with about 80% humidity really stretches the point.

The media driven society with the “let’s scare them so they watch us” mentality and the weather “persons” who wear the prophet’s robes but don’t want to be stoned if they’re wrong, all love these elements. They’re on center stage and they have everybody dancing to their tune.

Here’s the point. The human condition is made up of internal and external conditions. We want everything to be a fairy tale and we want to control the fairy tale to our own pleasure. This really has nothing to do with reality. Life wasn’t designed by the Creator to be like this. With the fall of man these curses and conditions came into being. The prince of the power of the air took the position continued his lies and the world’s buying everything hook, line and sinker since Eden.

With the storms and heat of life we have a great opportunity to keep our ship tied forever to the dock that cannot be moved. We have the opportunity to feel the cool breeze in the midst of scorching heat.

Paintings like “After The Storm” can remind us that it will pass, things will calm down and tomorrow is here and we will have the hope of a beautiful sunrise soon. Find the truth and the truth will set you free!

We’ll talk more of these things soon…."


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“When we don’t know Him, we think we’re always right
Never fully seeing truth and never following the Light
They’re nice, they’re good, but we don’t even know
Our judgment is blurred as we’re dancing to the show
We’ve thrown away His sacrifice for the ways of Cane
Blinded by our actions and choices for our personal gain!”

“Take the time to discover Paintings that remind you of the truth! If you’re not sure you know or understand that, then, “ask, seek, and knock”. Have a great week of “finding out” and not just “settling in”!”
