I want to deepen the connection.”
How?
Who knows?”

——————

I found out that when you mix reality with non-reality in your painting, you captivate everybody and get them really thinking.
It’s a bit like juxtaposing two complementary colors directly to each other to produce a simultaneous contrast.

Like you often say, Jon: “The goal is to be able to function in both worlds: Inside and outside the Reality Machine.”

Same thing goes for writers. A story that has logic, but is also filled at the same time with some magic. That usually strikes people’s attention.

Examples of logic and magic in your posts and my comments on your other site:https://outsidetherealitymachine.wordpress.com/2015/04/02/painting/#respond

Posts like these ones:

– The reality salesman makes a house call
– Case against the magician
– Etc.

Anyway, I will re-post that comment on your other site, because if people are interested about commenting on painting, “Outside the Reality Machine” is the perfect place to do it, since you let the post there for a many days.

Inside, as I wandered, I came upon Hilla von Rebay’s “Largo”. The original. I just stood there, trying to comprehend it. There wouldn’t be enough time today. I continued on.

Elsewhere in the complex, I came upon not one, but two massive works, both Kandinsky, I believe. From when he started going unimaginably far off the beaten path. “Dada Bug” was one, the other was similar. These were so wonderful, foreign, alien, I didn’t even know where to begin. I couldn’t even comprehend the techniques.

I’m convinced – it’s not the authors or musicians, it’s the painters who create new reality best.
