Everything can be vivid.

From a place to a moment to a face.

All depending on how you look at it.

Winslow H.

for Winslow Homer

Winslow would have captured it

all. The last sun soaking

the bristled chests and tufted brows

of evergreen. The pure white wash

of light on the starboard side

of the anchored lobster boats.

The mauve and violet shadows 

on the shingled surface. All

the watercolors of this ultramarine

world, refracted in the strokes

of his sable brush.

a thought

You don't have to be a painter

to capture Nature's brilliance.

Just open to the undistracted artistry

of your own native seeing.

a QUESTION

Have you taken time to see into how great artists view and feel the world? Especially past masters, from the van Goghs to the Monets to the Homers. Have you taken time to reflect on how you have been taking in the world? Or how else you could.

"I'm slowly and happily bringing a more poetic

and painterly lens to each new experience."

a call to experience

Acquaint yourself with the work of some splendid artist or artists. One(s) you love, or feel drawn to. Because engaging with their art will reveal their unique and moving ways of seeing. And can open you to your own fresh and inspiring ways of perceiving, beholding, and being more fully and richly inside the world's beautiful brilliance, it's visual and multi-sensory resonance.
