Thanks for all your great insights, Clint. I am learning that sometimes sitting and "doing nothing" other than observing, hearing and absorbing, can be my most important task of the day. I am reminded of the quote by Pico Iyer: "In an age of movement, nothing is more critical than stillness." That's where the magic happens.

Thank you for creating a platform that gives artists a place to share and showcase their work. I especially appreciate how easy your website tools are for non-tech artists. I’m a founding member of ArtTrends Gallery on Saint Simons Island, GA, which has been open for 10 years. Even with that experience, I still find myself learning and at times puzzled by the art of selling—both my own work and others’. I’m always eager for new insights. You can see my work at ellacartart.com.

Interesting thoughts Clint, Being still is something which allows us to observe nature and the way light works. I remember having a huge breakthrough in my painting when I learned to be still and really study light effects in nature. I realised that learning to paint was learning to see, in a way. here is a link to recently completed painting ..https://www.vickisullivan.com/workszoom/6194852/the-promise

Евгений, Теория это хорошо, а на деле что вы в связи с этой философией делаете? И что же вы всех так под одну гребёнку? Не все мы такие как вам кажется, не есть ли это суть вашей статьи? Everything is what it isn't.

Добрый день, Елена. Спасибо за вопрос. Суть статьи в том, чтобы развивать в себе чувствительность к тому, как реальность открывает себя. Это достигается через культивирование внутренней тишины.

Я поняла суть. Понимаете, мне культивировать тишину и чувствительность к реальности не пришлость, я просто родилась такой, любила тишину с раннего возраста и была чувствительной. Так что, мне не нравится когда всех под одну гребёнку. Вы там может наконец-то сделали это открытие, я за вас рада, а мы которые здесь давно, вы нас нашли и распознать нас можете? Спасибо за ответ.

Outstanding. It is humbling when our confident self suddenly sees it all differently. I'm learning to be open and wait. I call it Quiet Curiosity.

If you google my name - the info is there. What I'd like is to submit the Red one - after Rothko.
