Dekooning's Door

Inspired by his "Door to the River" (1960)
I like the tall rectangles
Figures, maybe
Gateways
Through spaces
Passages
My conversation with him

Splashing, striking, tearing
To break through to something new

Slowly rubbing, drawing, deliberate
To make a boundary

Some inspiration

School is starting soon so I'm gathering my source imagery and ideas.

Can't wait to get at it :)

For everyone feeling a little anxious and high-strung today (could be the forest fire haze affects us subconsciously) here's a little something to look at to slow you down.

Study for the moon

Internal truth

What is "internal truth?"
Connection?
The soul?
A place deeper than thought or emotion
The inner life, deeper stream

Practical examples of soul-stirring (to show a few)
