tao te ching says

it is the emptiness inside

that holds whatever we want

what then happens to

the crack in the cup..

Lost

There is a light

Or two possibly

Only in darkness

Down, up

North, south

A cavern in the canvas

Is still not enough

Dormant

My first exhibition! Or should I say our first exhibition, since this was a joint exhibition of my 13 year old son and I. I am a short on words as it has been and continues to be a very emotional experience for me. Somehow hanging ones art for public display is a little like baring ones soul. I am hoping I will be able to express everything little clearer as time goes on. In the meantime, we did sell two paintings ! I am thankful to my children and family who helped out a great deal with making this possible and to everyone who came out to the reception. The MAC gallery staff and volunteers have been just amazing and I would like to thank all of them.The exhibition is in the gallery for three weeks. I hope I will be able to share more over the next little while as the emotions settle.

Effulgence

Looking out my front window

Where Mount Baker shines

through oversized homes

A marriage is ending

Locks are changed.

This virile world

Is getting locked out.

Alteration

Jackie Blair — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 19:23:39 +0000

It happened as I folded your laundry

I glanced out my south eastern window

Where Mount Baker use to shine

A row of oversized houses is out my window now

I see the back end of them

I hear the birds outside my office window

Along with the humming of the washing machine

The computer and camera won’t process my latest painting

The ever-changing pigment is too strong
