From "Messenger" by Mary Oliver:
"Are my boots old? Is my coat torn?
Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me
keep my mind on what matters,
which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and learning to be
astonished...."
A blog about art in general, and painting in particular. And about learning to see....
Enhorabuena querida amiga! Estás teniendo una etapa realmente prolífica e inspirada!! Eso es fantástico. Ya veo que te estás permitiendo tener centrada la mente en lo que realmente importa: tu trabajo. Como dice el poema ... Es fantástico. Estoy orgullosa de ti. Lola
ReplyDeleteHey Katharine,
ReplyDeleteIts been a while since I've visited your blog... thank you for keeping it up. I love Mary Oliver, and this bit of poem is particularly profound, isn't it? A good thing to be reminded of! Being astonished... like by pelicans! I love that painting of your's... I would love to take you sometime to Elkhorn Slough (near Monterey... you''d have to spend the night at my house)... kayaking up Elkhorn is amazing, get to see tons of pelicans (those prehistoric creatures!) and otters, and sea lions... truly astonishing!
Kathleen
