Update

 


In relation to technical problems I’ve set up a provisional Twitter account. At the moment the account is purely bare bones and I will be changing the name some time in April. As I posted previously, Twitter Help/Support has been notified of the tech problems. At present I am reading but not sending tweets.

Toward Spring

 Happy Saint Patrick's Day ! On the way to Spring. New reading includes  Michel de Montaigne's essay "On the power of the imagination." Inspiring lots of thoughts on the German concept of Stimmung, meaning mood, in English. Perhaps this is a kind of poetic shifting of gears after my recent reading in Vincent van Gogh's letters. His favorite color apparently was yellow, an interesting one when it comes to mixing paint. Somewhat differently, moods can be mixed, But then much in human creation seems to depend on adding and subtracting. All the while, choosing........ Toward Spring !

Vincent Van Gogh's writing

 Continuing to  marvel over Vincent Van Gogh's descriptions of color in his paintings. As here, in an 1888 letter to his sister, Wil: "Right at the back, black cypresses against low white cottages with orange roofs--and a delicate green-blue strip of sky.... [N]ot one of the flowers has been properly drawn ... [and] they are only small dabs of color, red, yellow, orange, green, blue, violet, but the impression of all those colors next to one another is there--in the painting as in nature...." Painting with words! His writing brings out a lot about his theory of art, obviously.

Updates

 As indicated in my previous post LinkedIn has been renewed. Twitter info was also to be revised but it seems this will have to wait until their security allows me to access my account. I've made them aware of the problem. It might be related to the information published on Wire magazine, link below.
