I never do this but today I'm making an exception...

[CTyankee]

I am just letting you know that I am putting up an art essay on a wonderful and rightly famous painting and if you are interested or want a break in all the DU angst and the tears we are still shedding over Beau Biden's death...stop by and take in the images and the art's power to move you and make you think deeply about that power. We will all get through this. Somehow.

1. A link would help people find said essay.n/t

around and have an interest.

Thank you. I know you were being kind...and I appreciate that...

7. Please do. Your art posts are like mini seminars on some not

only beautiful but interesting and sometimes rarely seen artworks. For me they are kind of like an educational oasis for the mind. And much appreciated. Thank you.

8. I like to say "art always saves you." Painting, sculpture, music, dance, poetry....

where would we be without them?

Glad you like the essays and thank you.

12. Will look for it, yank.

Just drove back to the cottage from a day/night away, and fortunately the Bruch violin concerto was on the radio during the trip. I did think of Beau and Joe. Also thinking of Hunter, and hope he's ok.

My daughter wrote about this today, and it has gotten to her deeply because she's a 'new' mother, my grandson will be 2 in December, so she's feeling it as we parents do.

16. I was just thinking about that concerto...esp. the 2nd movement

Here is is for all

Glad your family is fine...

24. I saw that work at a symphony of musicians from the Chicago Symphony who summer in Door County, WI.

It was an astonishing experience. I felt as if I had been lifted out of my seat in the auditorium. When the work was over, the audience erupted in cheers and "bravos" -- a transporting moment...but of course, you must have felt that way during performance...I an only imagine what you must feel, being able to "do" art when I can only write about it...

[pangaia]

27. Gotta spend some time with your new paintings.

But for now....

Maybe I will try later to say something about the experience of playing music, my experience, anyway.
But for now.. no not sell yourself short.

You DO art.

Too much death and dying for me too lately.

Art, the soul of the world,
Imagination's folly


I never want to be cured!

22. Never apologize for your art posts, CTyankee.

Nor should you.

You make DU a much brighter place by your illumination -- I invite all interpretations of that sentence, since all are undoubtedly true.

I will be looking for your post, anxiously.

As always.
