Deep within your heart, keep one still, secret place where dreams can dance.

Dreams work. Anything that you are brave enough to conger and keep conjuring can happen for you. A new year, and a fresh start. I am looking forward to seeing some cool works from you.

"Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. -Camille Pissarro "

A lot of rain here in East Texas, coffee is warm and I am in my studio today.
Last night when I was turning out the lights and shutting down my studio, I glanced in the darkness in the direction of my easel and had an alarming thought. I realized that all over the world, all kinds of regular people might be doing something similar. Before going to bed they might be casting their eyes around their homes to see that everything was okay. Some of those eyes might catch for a moment on one of my paintings. There are a few out and about.

As I looked back into my studio, I realized that paintings ought to work in the almost-dark as well as in the full light of galleries or on home walls. Almost-dark is similar to what we do when we half-close our eyes. Areas of incongruity pop out, spindly and weak elements beg to be strengthened, woolliness is exposed as major-woolly. You notice funny things in the almost-dark--odd things, ghostly things, apparitions, things that look like something else. That evening I made a mental inventory of what needed to be dealt with in the morning.

I've been doing it ever since. For some reason I'm always able to remember my list. It kicks off the day. Sometimes the repairs are done before coffee. Of course there are other useful devices to shake the mind and see things anew. These include mirror viewing, taking outside (or inside), sideways glances, upside-down, through binoculars backwards, through a glass darkly, through a glass of scotch, though gels or colour filters, through screen-doors, scrims or lace curtains. Kahlil Gibran, speaking both practically and philosophically, said: "I have sharp and penetrating vision because I see through the mesh of a sieve."

All my best, Phil
