Periodic Table of Elements

I had not thought or discussed this Chart since about the 8th grade when I am sure I was supposed to have learned it far better than I ever remember learning it. One morning though, decades later I woke up thinking about The Periodic Table of Elements. I’m still not sure if I dreamt it or just thought of it as I woke but either way I knew I had to paint it. This is a painting of everything in existence. Who would not want to paint that? I took this copy out of my very outdated dictionary my dad had given me. It has progressed since but this is my rendition.

What can you say about the Periodic Table of Elements except: IT IS A PAINTING EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE! Even though this is not as complete as a up to date version, the up to date version is not as cool as this one.

I learned so much about this painting just painting it I could give a serious class on the subject. Painted very early in my career with end of day paint, really though it is still one of my favourites. It has also guided much of my future as an Artist.

Ok so Spring is here except by outside appearance.

The 20th – 23rd is Spring Equinox time in the Northern Hemisphere.

This is also a time to bring about Balance and Potential in mind, word and deed. That could, if so desired a Festival for just that purpose because as the first day of Spring it is the day when night and day are equal.

If weather conditions are right or even if they are not, it is always a good idea to start a Fire maybe dance barefoot around always begin from the left. The chill will let you know you are alive and living in an environmentally changing environment.

Last Saturday I was looking out from my warm perch, when the wind was blowing 70 mph, at the trees silhouettes and realized they were getting the worst of it. You can’t see it now but Nature really is stirring up a storm now. Soon there will be actual buds and seeds and blooms.

The strength of the Sun too, is going to town now. Somehow it is my hope for all to begin to reach out to Nature, to take some risks with outside activity and connect to the dirt, and light and rediscover bonds to them.

The Absolute of Earth, South, West, North
This is Greg who has lived, and has been in business locally for a very long time. Easily recognizable by all. You can see why I was happy when he accepted the challenge be East, Earth. As you know our planet is the manifestation of this element and is the densest of the Absolutes. This is the direction of East, in the Four Insights it represents, the Seer, trust the Universe is conspiring on your behalf. The direction of East lends the representation of Springtime and Sunrise, and birth. I like it.

Human Alchemy

There is a technique in art called stipple. Stipple is a series of only dots applied to the artwork, usually pencil or ink that make up the picture of form, like pixels on the television really. Darker shadows more dots, etc. but there are no hard edges.  We as a human on the Periodic Table of Elements are mass, we have weight. We as human on the Table of Human Characteristics are as in stipple, we are the dots, the cells of our individual opus and we have trillions of them.

The dots between us and the dots within us also have weight. The dots change as we change. It is a weight so minut we as of yet do not have a scale or device  of measurement but that does not mean the weight is not there. I will call it Soul Weight because emotions and actions weighs on the heart so by extension weighs on the mind then the Soul, possibly not in that order. This weight and the dots change as we change, Angry darker, happy lighter. Like the molecular structure when a bowl is placed in a microwave changes except we are continuous, there is no thousandth of a second the same. Tell a lie and in some way, because there is weight to that, dots change. Humming would change your frequency therefore your soul weight and so on. The words stable and unstable comes to mind. This is Human Alchemy, growth, pulling the covers over your head, staying the same. This could be working at being a better cell within the total body of what makes up our Universe.

Each life is in flux with every decision our thoughts, and experiences, rearrange the dots forcing them to shift and change. Each one of the qualities, characteristics and emotion, when activated affect your magnetic field which is our lower three chakra’s. Being magnetic if you carry despair around with you for example therefore you sit beside it on the but os in a check out land then the frequency of despair bleeds into your energy field so when that person moves ahead and away. This also works with happy, excited, grateful whatever emotion you choose. You are the Great Work in your own life.

Like energy is always in form through form or out of form, never staying the same in hopes of some kind of balance. There is much more to this.

 

What is important to me today.

To get this word out there.

“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”       Aristotle

I love this stuff. Both of these are more than surface words, think about this.

So I looked up the meaning of inward in the Webster’s Dictionary, the # 2. meaning is of or belonging to the inner nature of a person; mental or spiritual. Or part of #4 is an inward understanding of the poetic mind, inward lyricism, intimate.

Then significant #3 having or conveying a special or hidden meaning; suggestive #4 of or pertaining to an observed departure from a hypotheses to large to be reasonably attributed to chance

Cool huh.
