First of all Cecil, I love the colours in your collage at the top of this piece and I particularly like that tiny little drop of red somewhere in the upper middle that just sits there quietly bleeding into the sliver of cream between two forms and yet it makes the beautiful petrol green above it really pop. Gorgeous!
And I really love the subject of wisdom and you’ve written so beautifully about it. The idea of it being like a gift left quietly at someone’s door for them to find, or maybe picked up by another person who is ready to receive it, is a wonderful way to think about wisdom.
Excellent essay. I still carry feedback from specific individuals that I respect from artists to collectors and to lovers of art and life. When I stopped doing art after the divorce, this dear artist friend from Argentina (English was his 2nd language) gave me some very important advice that came to fruition eventually. And these days I have an email/text communication with a dear friend in California who's a retired lawyer and ceramic artist. We have such amazing dialogue. I carry 'words of wisdom' in my every day life that have nothing to do with art but have settled into my being helping me be my best and I find my adult kids asking for my wisdom too.
