I have been painting with the creamy oils. Painting AL's face almost made me cry. I was thinking I might want to give the Bridge painting to Bono. I'm finishing up the semester, studying Kant and Hatshepsut.

I believe art can perform the act of a miracle if the artist is willing to follow through and act with it. I was thinking about the artist and how the artist invests his time in the stages inbetween the rest and art-making act. I was thinking about myself. I was thinking about how far do I really want to go with the power of art. I believe Plato had something to say about beauty. I believe Kant had something to say about Beauty. I believe all of us have something to contribute to beauty and what that really means for the world and for ourselves.
