The Garden

Does your garden seem to be taking over?

Are you racing to keep up with it's everspeading vines?

A Side View of Edgeworthy - Stage Two

Trying to get a little motion into the brush stroke!

There needs to be still places and movement places.

Light is stationary. In two ways!

Light does not move contrary to conventional wisdom.

We move relative to sun light and to non-material light!

We are blowing apart as ethereal forms along with matter!

A Side View of Edgeworthy - Stage Two

Now your eyes are working with both sides of the brain firing to make
sense of the jumble of colours and shapes. The brain is putting
together an image closer to the reality of the real world even though
more chaotic on the canvas!

Here come Bertie and George!

A Side View of Edgeworthy - Stage One

I am wanting a morning view with the light falling across the drive!

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!

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
