beautiful interplay between the musicians.
so on point and hypnotic. more and more so the longer they play.
thus really worth it to watch the whole thing.

youtube channel "avroklassiek" from the netherlands has lots of other full concerts and separate pieces of classical music as well, most of them in 720p.

Above The Abyss...~

Clawed my way along craggy crest, from depths below, deeply entrenched.
Water fell, salt stung my eyes, but I held on...to my surprise.
Led by light, sweet nature’s hue…all to seek, a glimpse of blue.

For #LandscapeArtTuesday sponsored by +Christina Deubel

This en plein air painting was done during the same semester as the still lifes I posted this morning and yesterday.

I took advantage of the brief beautiful fall days in Chicago to head over to Grant Park during my studio class hours. Nothing spectacular--in fact, another goofy composition (what was I thinking?). Anyway, it sure is enjoyable to paint in the great outdoors, when it's not 100 degrees, or raining or cold, and you don't have mosquitoes biting you. This was a perfect day!

I was trying out painting on gessoed Masonite panels, which I found fairly challenging, as I had always used canvas before. The paints slides around a bit, and you have to paint thicker. You can see the texture of the gesso poking through the paint on this one, and maybe I had to hurry to get back for my next class; that... more »

I hate the New Years Honours' list. When you look at it most people are 'honored' for doing what they do anyway. They get paid for doing something and then they get a gong for it. I can see that in certain cases where people work hard for charity as an extra activity there is some merit in the awards system but sports people who get rewarded amply in their profession to then get an honor for it seems ridiculous to me. I noted that one knighthood was given to the chief executive of a large pharmaceutical company who was given the honor for services to pharmaceuticals (I am sure he has already been amply rewarded for his job)! A dustman could equally well be awarded the honor for services to keeping our streets clean. At a time when the issue of social exclusion is so pertinent it seems bizarre to me that we maintain any faith in this ridiculous system. I fear that we have become blind to... more »

amazing so far (arrived a few days ago) and already i encourage the reading of it! not just a vision, but the inclusion of ideals, that seems to suggest concrete ways to get there (attitude.) "The gift society" rings home to human nature.

I wrote a letter to my pal +Jack Olson, an artist who's sensibilities I admire and one that seems to understand my pursuits.
There is a little "be aware" message hidden in the letter. For 2012 I will be calling upon my inner brat to get some good things done.
Well wishes going out to all.
