Geography and gravity and time and shadow and
location and color as form and color as line and
words that fail and no metaphor and memory and
wind and wildness and grace and hysteria and
the act of painting as narrative and provocation
and solitude and silence and light and space and
top down learning and bottom up learning and
notation and terrain and rhythm and beauty and
wilderness and figure and ground and landscape
and waiting its occasions and pay attention and
homage to the indigenous and wisdom of the
elders and history and looking and seeing and
painting and horizon and nature and culture and
no fear and doubt and breathe and the other and
the space between – in no particular order.
