Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

 Over the last week with spring in the air ; I have been experimenting with the complexities of my camera! with its diverse technical abilities... needing to develop a more steady hand!...
Doing the experimentation reminded me of Artist Georgia O'keefee's  amazing paintings; micro images of flowers she created in the 1930s such as her Morning glory image below.

Artist Marlene Dumas Exhibition Tate Modern.

This week I took a trip to London to see the Marlene Dumas Exhibition at the Tate Modern.
What I found intriguing about her work is her ability- through paint medium- to communicate the darker aspects of the human condition that is psychologically unnerving at times; Dumas work brings into the light, that which is normally found hidden in the dark subconscious mind thus allowing the viewer to contemplate ones own standing.
The exhibition at Tate Modern  'Image as Burden' succinctly addresses the complex issues thus allowing us to consider personal responses we have towards those that are different from self, particularly her work addresses gender sterio-typing, race, equality, death.
It was interesting to see such a large body of her work particularly portrait images of people who had influenced Dumas herself. Along with a range of work done over the last 20 or more years.

 “The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it - basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them.”
- Charles Bukowski - Thinking Minds

                                                                      Golden sunset


Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.”
- Hermann Hesse - Thinking Minds

Some times it is good to be still to stop the glorification of business and to take in a sun rise or sunset  to take time in nature the rewards will be profound.

Grange over Sands  beauty of the lake district

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.

Steve Jobs

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

 Grange over Sands

 

“What does one person give to another? He gives of himself, of the most precious he has, he gives of his life. This does not necessarily mean that he sacrifices his life for the other - but that he gives him of that which is alive in him; he gives him of his joy, of his interest, of his understanding, of his knowledge, of his humor, of his sadness -- of all expressions and manifestations of that which is alive in him. In thus giving of his life, he enriches the other person, he enhances the other's sense of aliveness by enhancing his own sense of aliveness. He does not give in order to receive; giving is in itself exquisite joy. But in giving he cannot help bringing something to life in the other person, and this which is brought to life reflects back to him.”
― Erich Fromm
