Comments for Creative Cogitation http://akajake.com/blog About art & the art of Jake Beckman, painter of magical realism & representational abstracts. "Currently I paint binary & birds based on humorous observations of social media & other forms of electronic communications. Alternatively I am exploring mathematical abstraction in my new non representational work.-Jake" Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:53:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Comment on Keeping it Loose, the Golden Light by Mari-Lyn http://akajake.com/blog/2012/04/09/keeping-it-loose-the-golden-light/comment-page-1/#comment-1825 Mari-Lyn Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:53:33 +0000 http://akajake.com/blog/?p=1197#comment-1825 Hey, Jake, I like that you are exploring different ways to paint.. great job!

I find some people are drawn to one image over the other, but it depends on the person. A great many people like the very literal interpretation of the fable of the first version. But I confess, the mathematician in me prefers the second one as well.

I particularly like the second image. The interweaving of the two beings seems to portend their sad end and so the true nature of a scorpion. It really is a great fable. Thank you for reminding me of it and for sharing your beautiful work. Cheers, Cate @shardArtist OK, well they really are lovely aren’t they? I particularly like the second image.

I mean you can really feel the difference between quality products and cheap stuff. I am always trying to get more information on the products I use and learn as much as I can. Now, the material I use is pretty basic, I analyzed the ingredients of grade A products and decided to use natural pigments and mix everything from scratch. That way, I know what's inside! Great advice for travel -I had the same experience like you, running around trying to find color when the muse kissed me while away from home, can be frustrating...
