A Voyage, oil on canvas, 40x50cm, 2024.
This original framed abstract oil painting, created by a Cornwall-based artist deeply connected to the Cornish abstract tradition, vividly evokes the tumultuous beauty of the sea. Textured layers and rough areas of color intertwine with flowing lines that suggest the motion of choppy seas beneath gathering rain clouds. A regular square grid across the canvas adds a narrative dimension, as if capturing different moments of a journey by ship. Each section invites the viewer to explore the story within the waves, making this piece a captivating addition to any collection inspired by the sea and coastal life.

Thanks @isolabell.art 🎨 for the encouragement to post these videos here!
This original framed abstract oil painting features three simple circular forms connected by an undulating line that runs through them. The composition’s simplicity invites viewers to find their own personal meanings, as the line, resembling a signal or pulse, unites the three distinct forms. Each circle stands out in its individuality, yet they are clearly in relationship with one another, suggesting themes of connection, communication, and unity within diversity. This artwork offers a contemplative experience, making it a thought-provoking addition to any space.

A #bitcoin … cookie!?🤣
I was playing with #ChatGPT trying to get it to make a coin that had been bitten ( a bit coin. Get it? 😮💨) but it couldn’t so I gave it an image of a cookie with a bite taken from it as reference. That kind of worked but I think this coin still has cookie crumbs and probably a delicious filling.
I think it’s probably the closest it’s going to get. This is also the only time it did the #₿ sign well. Strange times, with amazing #ai tech changing fast. https://image.nostr.build/25fdd5b39dc3b13da59abb8e5c9cca5cf38f526cd17ab29e06dc76241ff9b0d0.jpg
Like many million other people I started to make sourdough over lockdown, but then with one thing and another I just let the starter die and haven’t made sourdough for ages since. I’ve now got a new starter going and today was the day to test it. I am so pleased that it seems I’ve still got the knack! Can’t wait to try it!

#quote from Jonathan Haidt in ‘The Righteous Mind’
“I also began to understand why the American culture wars involved so many battles over sacrilege. Is a flag just a piece of cloth, which can be burned as a form of protest? Or does each flag contain within it something nonmaterial such that when protesters burn it, they have done something bad (even if nobody were to see them do it)? When an artist submerges a crucifix in a jar of his own urine, or smears elephant dung on an image of the Virgin Mary, do these works belong in art museums?" Can the artist simply tell religious Christians, "If you don't want to see it, don't go to the museum"? Or does the mere existence of such works make the world dirtier, more profane, and more degraded?
If you can't see anything wrong here, try reversing the politics. Imagine that a conservative artist had created these works using images of Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela instead of Jesus and Mary. Imagine that his intent was to mock the quasi-deification by the left of so many black leaders. Could such works be displayed in museums in New York or Paris without triggering angry demonstrations? Might some on the left feel that the museum itself had been polluted by racism, even after the paintings were removed?”

Journey On, oil on canvas, 60x74cm, 2022.
This original framed abstract oil painting offers a meditative experience. The contrast between the textural, loosely layered paintwork and the precise geometric shapes creates a dynamic yet harmonious balance. The curved and flowing lines across the central circle add a sense of movement, while the circular shapes emerging from the left and right suggest a relationship or convergence, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the center. This thoughtful arrangement evokes a sense of calm and contemplation, making it a striking and serene addition to any space.

Bird in Flight, oil on canvas, 10x14in, 2024.
This original framed abstract oil painting brings a lighthearted and vibrant energy to any space. Utilizing simple forms, patterns, textures, and bold colors, the artwork expresses a playful energy. The charming, unlikely pairing of a bird theme with a rectangular shape that mirrors the shape of the canvas adds a whimsical touch. This composition invites viewers to enjoy the unexpected and delight in the cheerful, dynamic interplay of elements, making it a joyful addition to any collection.

Anyone know if #Wordpress currently has any working widgets or code for receiving #zaps ? @Alby has a full featured plugin but I get ‘fatal error’ trying to activate it in Wordpress version 6.6.1

Anyone care to comment seriously on this economist’s anti #bitcoin ideas? #asknostr I’m no expert at all but I think his store of value and medium of exchange points are just plain wrong and it seems to me that crypto volatility is due to the current link to fiat currencies. But his points about politics and societal breakdown at the end of the video are possibly harder to ignore?

This is a great treatment of the source image. at first glance it could be someone praying in church until you see the blood and tension. Really interesting!
ANTONI TÀPIES (1923-2012)
“I’ve chosen materials that are already expressive. And use them in a way that capitalises on their inherent qualities. In order to prevent technique from taking over I have to set traps for myself. For example I use materials that dry very fast and compel me to work at great speed. Working very quickly and spontaneously like this is my way of keeping intellect on a short rein, of keeping reason in its place, so that the unconscious can run free. Painting has returned to its origins, to an area beyond language, a mysterious world that can only be expressed in abstract symbols and images.”

Yes. I did enjoy seeing how Corbyn got much more votes in his constituency than Starmer did in Holborn. The left vote against Starmer in Holborn was also a pro Corbyn style vote imo for Feinstein!
Thank you 🙏
I rent space from a web hosting company and I installed Wordpress on it, which is free. The website is just a basic theme for Wordpress so it’s quite easy to configure and add galleries etc.
You’re totally right about bad expensive art. But it’s hard to define what is ‘bad’. I’ve tried and I can’t do it, but I know bad when I see it, and a lot of expensive art is really bad. Your art is not like that so it is the opposite: good!
This is a wonderful and inspiring conversation between two remarkable people (Satish Kumar and Rupert Sheldrake.) about dying, death and beyond.

I’m starting to think that Ai art is a type of collage.
What do you think?
Here’s why:
1)There’s an idea for a new image.
2)There’s a (computerised) selection process to find relevant existing images.
3)There’s a (computerised) process of cutting and pasting images, textures etc. from the selected images into the new image (okay, maybe adding light sources, shading, and so on)
4)A human assesses the results and repeats steps 2 and 3 again if necessary.
It’s new, semi-automated and digital, but it’s still a kind of hi-tech collage, isn’t it?

‘Insections’, oil on canvas, 25x30cm, 2024. It’s called that because it’s a picture that is in sections and to my eyes it resembles some kind of bug. But it’s not. I think it’s a feature. :)

When I’m painting I think I kind of find my way to a place I never knew I was always heading towards. Know what I mean?
