Words of Wisdom for the Painter
Perylene red with some cad yellowViva towels
Chasing the light
A stroke laid is a stroke stayed
Edges set the atmosphere
Cad Yellow, Ultramarine
Red grays the green
Dry paper 3 times lighter
Wet paper 10 times lighter
300 lb stays wet longer
Opaque won't mingle, turns to mud
Mission & Sennelier make beautiful grays
Scarlett lake float in mineral violet
Alizarin Crimson is permanent rose
Know the Person
It's about opening upnot just performing
You must know the person
Being in the now
It's a different culture
You must know the person
Finding the right person
Someone who can connect
You must know the person
Show not tell
if you want people to remember
You must know the person
We are all kids inside
Let yourself go
You must know the person
Build the relationships
What's next
You must know the person
Both poems were inspired at lectures attended this week and last. The first poem contains words from a demonstration by artist and author, Anne Abgott at the Jacksonville Watercolor Society, as well as words heard at a demonstration by artist Randy Pitts at the Art Guild of Orange Park. The second came from words heard in a program sponsored by the AgeWell Institute which featured geriatrician Dr. Bill Thomas and Samite Mulondo, founder of Musicians for World Harmony. They were presenting the power of music on the mind, particularly its effects on those suffering from dementia. Dr. Thomas is clearly a champion for the arts in medicine and whole person care.
