When I started answering the questions then all time broke loose and my thoughts churned. After 2 hours my mental gears were pushing smoke like the bike, lol. I found the exercise wholly enjoyable. As an artist its easy to become reclusive working alone in solitude, sometimes its good to really think about art rather than just view it. Exercises like your questions can spark deep and meaningful discourse so I thank you Margaret for inciting thought and reflection.tess stiebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990043775194246617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-10336366731277104502010-02-28T17:54:18.237-03:302010-02-28T17:54:18.237-03:30Mark,

When the reflections are all added together there certainly is depth in the connections. Funny about the smoking bike.... When I first saw it I was reminded of my brother, now a mechanic, who was always inventing. I know the artist is after something much more serious.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-64134184999681440312010-02-28T16:26:16.458-03:302010-02-28T16:26:16.458-03:30That organ is wonderful!

To play the organ you need both hands and both feet and must surely make you feel more godlike than even a concert pianist... so to have an arena to dominate would compliment the feeling perfectly. An arena of gladiatorial mice would be even better... or, ahem, calming down for a moment, an ant farm.<br /><br />Not sure about the others pics though. The smoky bike made me think of the red arrows aerial display team. I'd like to see a bike with a blue smoke trail... but yep I know that wasn't the point.Mark Sheekyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710485457283053795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-48889760279906922042010-02-27T22:30:14.903-03:302010-02-27T22:30:14.903-03:30Of course, in the last comment it should be lookin...Of course, in the last comment it should be looking at and seeing art.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-44439223339996811082010-02-27T22:29:13.255-03:302010-02-27T22:29:13.255-03:30Kathy,

I'm reading a great essay on the difference between looking and seeing art (my terms).Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-67545692806936247542010-02-27T19:30:54.012-03:302010-02-27T19:30:54.012-03:30Margaret - I'll accept no honors for my mental...Margaret - I'll accept no honors for my mental laziness, but I figured that copying Don was a good bet. The organ piece caught my eye more than any other. In an arena where organ music is played, it surround everyone and so it does in this particular work. Also, ice hocky is played and an organ is played, so there's a similarity. I'm guilty of not spending enough time considering all these works, but there is much to do in my life, so I must prioritize. However, it's always one of my priorities to visit your blog and read your insightful comments!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037549177881696434noreply@blogger.com
