The weekend is here again and so is Sammi’s weekend writing prompt. With only sixteen words allowed, this should be a quick one!

Move your boat to an intersection.
Straighten that poor sea!”

Thanks for your comment. I guess these ideas come and go — but I may not live long enough to see it pass. 🙂

One thing I’ve learned is that different cultures have different conventions for art. I didn’t realize that Chinese painting had affected me at all until I did the painting of me, Bear and the tree. One of my artist colleagues criticized the composition. I thought, “Huh? Who the F are you? Can’t you SEE what I did here? The sky dominates EVERYTHING in our world and THAT’S what I painted.” I just said, “Yeah. I see what you mean.”

Here in Sask, this flat land that bills itself “The Land of Living skies” I can certainly understand “the sky dominates everything.” Sometime I want to paint just SKY! But yes, no point arguing about perspectives.

The valley is flat, too, and the mountains make all kinds of weather, so I paint the sky all the time. I can’t help it. It’s just incredible.
