Observation

 

Artists have a uncanny ability to create based on the observations they make, sometimes a moment or a singular idea can have great outcomes, beyond the arts. Science and breakthroughs in so many cases is accomplished through close observation and the questioning of how things change or don’t-  Its a fascinating and a relatively simple formula.  

Planning the fall show the differences in materials and how they have generated works of art through the lens of observation and creativity seems endless. 

October is a beautiful month, things both ending and beginning in the natural world, flowers and fruits become seeds, die back and send energy into the earth to only be renewed again in the spring- the rebirth. 

Trees take on a bold new landscape with color as well as the poetics of falling leaves and become safe havens for squirrels and birds, nesting and storing just as many of us find ourselves doing at the end of the growing season.

I’m looking forward to seeing all of you again at the Little Pink House.

More than ever we need to support and lift each other up, there are still so many things to celebrate.

Beauty is worth the fight, self expression and the freedom of doing so- more important than ever. 

Watch for more updates- 

Observation will be open October 11-12

10-5 both days. 

 

George Carlson, one of the greatest painters of the western landscape understood the need to revisit again and again those spaces that ultimately informed his work. Soaking it up from the ground up. 

“Do nothing, but look. In that glimpse, Carlson says, you will find everything of meaning that you will ever need to know about the preciousness of existence. Each of us can do it before our stardust flesh returns back to the ground.”
