Just a few comments regarding my new blog art.  One year ago, I could've had this painting stuck in my face and been hit over the head with it, and I still would not have noticed, let alone appreciated, it.  But, NOW, when I saw this online two months ago, I was mesmerized (I use that word alot, don't I?) by it.  Like Pierce Brosnan in The Thomas Crown Affair, I could sit and stare and examine this painting all day long.  Why?  It's so simple, so elementary, some would say, boring.  And why now?  Why after years and years of not noticing art, do I now find some art mesmerizing.  What has changed in the last year to make me think this way?  I now notice the most "hide in plain sight" things.  It's like I can stare at a brick wall and notice the minute, porous holes in the mortar...................and appreciate them.  It's as if so much now moves in slow motion for me.  And it makes me think of one perfect piece of art in this world......................that I would spend days, weeks and months pouring over, inch by inch, in extreme slow motion, taking days to examine every single pore and square millimeter of skin.  Life would be completely suspended if I was able to stare at that work of art.
