This one started with a glance. Half asleep, about to switch off the last lamp before heading up to bed, I saw a vase of tulips adjacent to the light moments before they disappeared into darkness. It excited me visually, it touched me deeply.
There is a gallery exhibition that just opened in London at The Bindery, 53 Hatton Garden (June23-August 7) with a title loaned from Paul Klee: “One Eye Sees, The Other Feels”.
Both the title and the artwork exhibited caught my eye. It reflected my own viewpoint as an artist; the simultaneous experience of SEEING and FEELING and the artistic necessity to fuse the two into a single image on the canvas.

The light grey plastic figures came complete with glue and 6 or so tiny pots of six basic enamel colors.
My first painting palette.
The figures would receive the absolute thinnest layer of paint so I could save the little pots to paint on top of my own drawings with Q-tips: my first paint brushes.
Looking back, it was a great introduction to color mixing. And in a pinch I make sure there are always some Q-tips in the house…

Shortly thereafter it was sold to a collector who had spotted it in my studio. Sadly, she passed away this year, but her nephew, who is her executor and a good friend of mine, pulled it from the auction and brought it to me as a belated birthday present.
So full circle.

This view is always the first and last image I see when I depart and return from my early morning walking meditations there. I hope it is a poem, but it is at least a personal fusion of what I see with my eyes and my heart.
