1. Thought on art/painting
Art can express the inexplicable. That’s a remarkable potential we have because we still can’t explain the most important things, such as why there are ‘good’ and ‘bad,’ and what to do about it. Limitations in expression are limiting the thinking (yes, also this way round). We feel that there is something, somewhere in us, that holds more answers than we can explain with words. Art/painting is a key to the next human breakthrough in consciousness.

For most work I use professional water mixable oil colour (Winsor & Newton) that are designed to look and work like traditional oil paint, because they can be used without hazardous solvents. I mostly use wood panel or canvas panel (board).
![You get an understanding and compassionate ear here, but the most significant benefit lies in permitting me to offend you. First of all, if I didn’t dare to offend, I couldn’t be honest. Being offended offers a real-world check outside of one’s comfort zone. Second, if I solely entertained you, I’d waste your time distracting from the real work to be done. I will, however, offend you with substance, so you can accomplish getting very clear on your worldview / identity: Who are you really beyond social conditioning? What would you stand for if you had the self-confidence to overcome social pressure? Why are you here as a complete human being beyond economic considerations? Also, the feeling of being offended is a warning indicator that is showing you where to look within yourself for unresolved issues. I may offend people, but I also make it easy for them to forgive me. You’re not alone; my content and approaches contain wisdom that offends quite everyone. I love people in general (not only the proximate ones who flatter me), and that’s why I care to offend you too. To be genuinely kind means to have the courage to offend. Of course, people like sugar. But shall I, therefore, feed them with more of what is not suitable for health? I’ve learned that if I love myself, I have the courage to allow me to get offended (which doesn’t mean to let me abuse, though). ...

Thank you, Elaine! Please do it, it cannot harm:-)
Tell that to my dishes 😉
Ha ha ha! Understood, but actually dishes are indifferent, you are setting the priorities:-)
These are cool! <3
That’s a great feedback, thank you!

As Sheldon Always
Beautiful and interesting pieces of art; especially because some many different perspectives are possible with each piece.
XxX
I love your paintings! Thank you!
Thank you!!:-)
I especially like “Coffee head” and”Two-lips”. “Look, our children” made me chuckle ?
Hello Lynn. Thank you very much for the nice feedback. All the best!
I minored in art in college but haven’t painted for years…I enjoyed looking through your work!
Why don’t you paint again?
Good question… now I’m finished homeschooling my sons, maybe I can take it up again. Do you use acrylics?
Your lake bed makes me want to dip my toes and feel the breeze. Tranquil colors.
Thank you for that vivid picture feedback!
