Hey Val, optimistic pursuits … sounds optimistic
Hello Rayne, yes, it’s time for a new attitude, don’t you think? -Val
I love the fact your pursuits aren’t limited to painting — which you obviously do so well! The John Adams video and link were a nice way to start the day. Thx.
Wow…what a wonderfully eclectic, provocative, and aesthetically inviting blog. I had no idea. I love the mix of ideas and focus (foci?) and your thoughts on your process and the pursuits of others.
This is inspiring me to try to create something myself. Can’t get more optimistic than that.
Cheers
Robin
