While we have a wide variety of bizarre weather in San Francisco (80° degree afternoon, then fog, then hail all in the same day) we rarely get storms. And I barely remember the thrill of a good New England thunder and lightning storm.<br /><br />However, we don't mess around with tornadoes and I hope you don't have to, either.<br /><br />(We did have a nice jolty earthquake last week though. All the green went back and forth.)dontneedtotrackmyinfothankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03751259543699284620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17876496.post-72371617400646977692011-04-26T23:35:40.283-05:002011-04-26T23:35:40.283-05:00(The pool and flower paintings are not too morose....(The pool and flower paintings are not too morose.

I appreciate the additional reference.<br /><br />The mosquitos are monster-size already too.<br />The mayor "partially activated the Office of Emergency Management, preparing for the storms to come though tonight/tomorrow, anticipating it will be the worst storms so far this year..." <br />That was in my inbox this evening. <br /><br />I hate being separated from my studio during these storms and the home studio floods. sigh. I too dream of a distant land....<br /><br />I suggest we all read J.G. Ballard "Drowned World." Nice bedtime story. <br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drowned_WorldM.A.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02303746220928405906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17876496.post-58103263874058758222011-04-26T20:21:27.058-05:002011-04-26T20:21:27.058-05:00Green green.

No angry stares. The first cut will be tough. I may need taller wheels. Wisteria and lilacs going strong. More rain and tornadoes tonight. Spring is almost a rude awakening this year.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441252185724289126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17876496.post-69364642922301785632011-04-26T18:17:58.745-05:002011-04-26T18:17:58.745-05:00One could say that Mondrian did in fact use green,...One could say that Mondrian did in fact use green, in his early Dutch tradition landscapes - it was his neo-plastic efforts that lacked the color.<br /><br />In his collected essays, "The New Art - The New Life" compiled by Harry Holtzman & Martin S. James, he draws out his desire to stick to the primary elements - in line and in hue. Hence, green got cut for the achromatics and RBY. So, Theory #4 comes closest - although one could argue the heavy influence of nature and landscape in the late neo-plastic works. (Trees, windmills, oceans, churches...)<br /><br />(Alas, I'm to lazy to go find the page to reference the quote. But it's there.)Chris Rusakhttp://www.chrisrusak.comnoreply@blogger.com
