About Me

"Painting is something that takes place among the colors, and one has to leave them alone completely, so that they can settle the matter among themselves. Their intercourse: this is the whole of painting. Whoever meddles, arranges, injects his human deliberation, his wit, his advocacy, his intellectual agility in any way, is already disturbing and clouding their activity." --Marie Rilke Rainer

Morning

I was sitting in a chair; a hard chair pulled up close to the wooden table. Bills piled up last month. It will be hard to pay them. I had my heater on full but the cold was hanging around my...

Review of 'The New World' directed byTerrence Malick
