Laws of attraction are a part of the laws of association

Extending Impressionistic Art

The observation that you are associated with other entities because of the colours with which you decorate yourself is a profound one. Gone is the value of the idea that the mind works in straight lines. The artist can use such branding by


association to paint a picture of you that is very different from the real picture painted. When the viewer has a host of associative predispositions, the viewer will use these to paint the picture wanted by the artist. Messages are implanted within art that those associated with cues will reacte to emotionally and then physically.

This phenomenon artists have used and by association their work has been valued by collectors! Who you associate an artist with really does matter for the popularity of the artist. Even your mother warned you about how you paint the picture if yourself that others see. Put a ring in your ear and you are associated with a host of feelings and memories that others have. They will value you based on these associations. Human intelligence makes use of false associations to attract and to fend away. Associations are used by writers to encourage or discourage feelings and actions.

The forces of association are related to the real physical forces of location and magnetism. By placing yourself near a magnet, you place yourself under the influence of an invisible magnetic force. By placing yourself within a church you place yourself within another force field which can be as powerful, but which operates at hidden levels just as magnetism operates at hidden levels.

It is very important to realize how associative forces operate to influence other forces. They can change history, can move mountains, and can destroy communities. The hidden forces of association are immensely powerful, yet are not generally included among the forces of physics. We can appreciate them through art!

The Impression World

See Me - The Phenomenon of Branding or Association

This is the observation that people don't really see you! They use heuristics and associate you with others, other people, other groups, and entities that they use to try to understand you because of your associations.

You are rarely interpreted correctly as a person. By associating you with something or some group and associating that group with other associations the real you is hidden among false of partial impressions. Finding the real you is made all the more difficult and elusive.

Harbour - Stage 4 a

This image is a lot about colour so big changes!

Harbour - Stage 3b

I look for colour dominance and it is now green.

There is more brown than one would expect now.

That befits a period when wood was used before brick!

Local brick is yellow and from local clays.

The Harbour - Prep for Stage 3

Decided against inclusion of the ferry boat, but have the railway
instead and a few tall masters!

Where Wither's Saw Mill Once Was

Well, here it is in this unflattering photo!

Kincardine Harbour - second impression

Wither's Saw Mill at Penetangore 1848

Getting close to completion!

Kincardine Harbour - Done as first impression

Good enough in this first phase fir a final. I like it too much as is
and will call it on this one. Now to start another for the image that
I intended!

First scratches of Kincardine Harbour 1953

This is going to be colourful!

Wither's Saw Mill - Stage Five

Gradually getting this image into shape!

Wither's Mill Penetangore - Stage 2

The image has been populated!

Wither's Saw Mill - part way through

Stage Two is partly done. Will now work with the greens and blues.

Withers Saw Mill Penetangore - preparation for Stage 2

There is a narrow slip for faster water to drive the water wheel.
People appearing out in the open and in the shade!

Wither's Mill of Penetangore - Stage one

At this point the image looks rather sombre as I try to figure out the
light which surprise surprise is going to come from the right or West
which means that this is a morning image. Withers is surveying his
wood stock that had been brought in from up river. The damming of the
flow permits easy movement of big logs. His saw mill is a frame
construction put up rather hurriedly though fairly robust.

Looking over the scene and reclining on the summer shade will be
people. And there will be Chippewas as well! It is August 1848 and
most of the mill construct put up hurriedly is in place.

Wither's Saw Mill - First Scratches

These are the preliminary scratches to the image of Wither's Sawmill of 1848. Withers had the help of local Chippewas who traded furs with a trader named Rastall (a bit like Rascall). The Indians went inland for their beaver which had created large swamps such as Greenock and penetangore to the south of the river mouth. The river had at least five tributaries hense it's name, not to mention at least five fingers of sanddunes stretching out into Lake Huron. The saw mill was confiscated by the Queen's men because Withers had not got permission to fell trees from her bush!
