🪷 Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo 🪷

✨ It is our basic ignorance which causes impure perceptions to manifest so that everything appears as ordinary, suffering and defiled. We have to “clean the lenses” in order to see that what looks so ordinary is actually a pure realm of utter transcendence. — Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo ✨

A quotation from C. S. Lewis

But in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.

C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) English writer, literary scholar, lay theologian [Clive Staples Lewis]
An Experiment in Criticism, Epilogue (1961)

Orpheus, Odilon Redon

My education on Greek mythology is scant but there's an interesting page on Wikipedia about Orpheus. He was a musician so maybe a lute is indicated here?

I really enjoy Odilon Redon's work so much. There's something about color and texture and complexity that's amazing but it's not just that, there is always a relation to a figure or a scene which brings it into an experiential place for me. I am resting with my eyes closed, dead or dreaming, with whatever all that color and texture and contrast represents.

I wanted to note here that almost all of my art education has been on the internet and following blogs of other art lovers. I am deeply indebted to them for enriching my life, I want to keep that alive on the internet, this blog is about that. Thank you to all of you out there ❤️

Heavenly Place in the Mind, Chalermchai Kositpipat

To me this really gets at a certain feel. Moonlight seems to have this delicate magic, the normal world is strange and quiet and beautiful. It wouldn't be totally surprising to turn around and catch a cat walking on its front legs or a fox trying to catch moths. haha

A quotation from The Bible

We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
 
[μὴ σκοπούντων ἡμῶν τὰ βλεπόμενα ἀλλὰ τὰ μὴ βλεπόμενα· τὰ γὰρ βλεπόμενα πρόσκαιρα, τὰ δὲ μὴ βλεπόμενα αἰώνια.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
2 Corinthians 4: 18 [KJV (1611)]

Work, Sadamasa Motonaga
oil and gravel on canvas.

Back to work today. This seems vaguely human-shaped which would make the messy top part the head and so maybe the mental state. It could be that the artist had something else in mind but that's my reaction to it. I love that they used gravel to get that texture.
