vanishing point vanishing point friday july 10 2020 turbulence there is a technique in movie making those scenes where the hero flies his craft into the sun or where lovers embrace while the planet splits apart time seems to shift not exactly slow motion but a hum music replaces deafening sounds of crashing explosions intense turbulence but restful philip glass or the late great ennio morricone they know it it s why i listen to these composers while i work as if to summon this technique yesterday i completed the third of three large commissions in watercolor three cityscapes of places that are dear to the client they are divided in two because they will be framed as diptychs posted by open air studios at 9 11 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday june 12 2020 house home we use the word house and home interchangeably as in they re building a spec home next to their house but a home is singular to each of us while we can surround ourselves with many houses we build ourselves a home mostly one that is emotional while we construct houses for others my mother points out the nice houses to me in mid sentence as we drive to point b now that s a nice one right there a nice house to my mother is one that is neat and tidy she also points out which ones need a lot of work i would guess that altogether i have lived in 30 40 different places that i would call home the number would probably double if i were to include those places whose couches i slept on for spans of weeks when i was younger below my house in hungary above is for rent to others on airbnb https abnb me flcaybawh7 though i have spent only a number of summer vacations under its roof i have an emotional connection to it and think of this house as our true home all i need to do is view a few photos of it from time to time pastoral ideas come to mind and calm me like i m home my son and my dad at the dinner table together we re living together all of us since covid just eating dinners together mostly but life does seem to be one big dinner either preparing for or cleaning up sometimes we are given live performances on the patio posted by open

years for a soon to be printed book it is data entry work that needs to be done has anybody seen my goggles what can i have for a snack i ve also hired somebody recently to design and build my new website it ought to be ready within the next few weeks but it too has required time from me in the office and at the computer togetherness we have new beds in the kids bedrooms that are now full size and the markings on their height chart have grown past the taped paper that i ve taken from one home to the next to them still height is the absolute proof of growth posted by open air studios at 3 52

pinterest thursday february 27 2020 who are you early in the gospel of john a question is asked by one man to another who are you not what is your first name or your title not what do you do for a living not where are you from two men in a landscape whose paths have crossed want to know the essence of the other words are there and the sentences can be stitched but they might break if spoken too loud they are the thoughts you have your whole lifetime to whisper to your truest of friends posted by open air studios at 11 21 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday january 24 2020 anchor out the backseat window of the minivan my son could not make out the horizon because of the fog he threw up for 5 hours well into arkansas motion sickness sick of moving stricken by inner unease it s a miserable state that obliterates the joy of travel and overtakes the victim it becomes a search for visual anchoring years of traveling and learning how to roll with the unpredictable shaped my vision and expectations of parenthood i was going to steer my family like a migratory caravan but it s as if my son has opened a new horizon to me an exotic one that is closer to home a good friend commissioned this painting with a snapshot of his two boys from 20 years ago it s now above their fireplace what s above your fireplace posted by open air studios at 12 34 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday november 16 2019 scraps a large pecan tree fell over in a wind storm and nearly crushed my rotting fence its trunk is on my neighbor s property and is therefore his problem some would act quickly to remove the hazard the intrusion the unsightliness it leans and browns with decay dominating my view against the vertical living trees that surround it my wife and i go for walks together in the evenings i remind andi to slow down that i would rather walk for leisure and not so much for power exercise but i speed up we pass a field that was once used by the old high school for football games brown weeds and grass with a rusty goalpost the space is not quite a park as much as it is emptiness we scan the neighborhood as we walk a house has been painted a woman rakes leaves in a front yard where neither of us have ever seen any sign of life silhouettes of buzzards or hawks perch along bare pecan branches we walk in the road because there are no sidewalks and keep an eye open for oncoming headlights posted by open air studios at 10 49 am no comments email this blogthis share
