“In Radiance”- Now at the West End Gallery

Change the focus of the eye. When you have done that, then the end of the world as you formerly knew it will have occurred, and you will experience the radiance of the divine presence everywhere, here and now.

Is that the purpose of art? It makes sense. Through the years, many artists have talked about painting beyond what is there, painting the invisible, the intangible.

To make the viewer see the ordinary in a new or extraordinary way.

Sounds easy enough, right? Well, it can be done but you don’t always find the divine radiance of all things. That can be frustrating and unfulfilling. But on those times when you do, you understand what Joseph Campbell was describing. And it drives you on.

Change the focus of the eye. It most likely applies to life in general, as well. I will have to try that.

It reminds me of Blake’s “Auguries of Innocence” —
“To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour…”
Great quote, and is that the Rainbow Serpent at the base of the tree?
Wasn’t intended but I can certainly see it as such now.
Interesting……
