No. 2: Just Fishing

Been quite busy. Not always about doing art necessarily. That's unfortunate. Sneaking lots of peeks at things about art that are inspiring though. In stolen moments. One inspiration is a small victorian lithograph. 100 years old. Just a snippet of a thing.

Lithograph: The Red Boat - James E. Martin 2012

I love the red boat. And the colors overall and the general image. It speaks to me because I am in a smaller boat at this time in my journey. Much of what I am doing has aloneness about it but is not necessarily lonely. I cast and wait. Cast and wait. Watching the view. The water is placid. The scene and pace is generally peaceful. I am thinking Renoir and Monet. But the landscape around me appears more turbulent and chaotic. I am thinking Van Gogh. There is a place for me to land the boat...in time. And a path to take once I get there. But for right now I am enjoying some solitude and avocation. Reflecting. Just Fishing.
