Humans are lesser than birds

     in song and unity

with Nature in a world their own

     distinct in beauty.

Stop painting just for a while,

     be with them at ease;

give silence a true place

     with inner peace.

Everything's quiet, just a breeze,

     in tune with the heart ,

as the red light turns green;

     for the next start. 

 

About Impressionism

"I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me."

- Henri Matisse

Taken as a whole, Impressionism argues that we don't really see the natural or "real" world objectively because everything that we perceive is filtered through our minds, and our minds are filled with unique and personal memories and emotions, so each of our minds perceives the world differently. Internet

                                                 

Birds of Paradise 

Abstract art has come into being as a necessary expression of the feelings and thoughts of our age; it has added new dimensions to creative painting. (Leonard Brooks)

Brisbane, Australia, July 31, 2023

Red, blue and green, and black hidden,

crowd the Heliconia bushland; 

home of birds driven from a lost Garden, 

save on make-believe art of man.

About Abstract Art

"Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured." - Paul Cezanne

"What I mean by 'abstract' is something which comes to life spontaneously through a gamut of contrasts, plastic at the same time as psychic, and pervades both the picture and the eye of the spectator with conceptions of new and unfamiliar elements." - Marc Chagall
