A look at other buildings in Bilbao, other than the Guggenheim

I have recently discovered the power of Dynamic Symmetry, its origin, its stipulations and history. One quote from the person who put the principles together, Jay Hambridge, is worth mentioning: “As moral law without intellectual direction fails, ends in intolerance, so instinctive art without mental control is bound to fail, to end in incoherence. In Art the control of reason means the rule of design.” (Hambridge, Jay. The Elements od Dynamic Symmetry. Dover Publications, Inc., New York. 1967). I would urge you to incorporate dynamic symmetry into you static compositions.

"That there must be some epiphany that makes it possible for even the dullest  and most deluded of us to accept not only  what is unacceptable but unimaginable. The absolute terminus of the world. Which will not wonder even for the briefest second what might have become of us." Cormac McArthy

I have been collecting these lilies on my sitting room floor... If only I could keep it as a sculpture! The title comes from Tennessee Williams' "Street Car Named Desire"

While on holiday... Inspired by Matt Mawson's surreal visual expression. ( @mattmawson )

The Bosphorus, Istanbul as I imagine it...

This self portrait should in fact have a subtitle "After Ricardo Perez Alcalá", a Bolivian artist considered to be one of the best aquarellist of Latin America, born in 1939 and died 2013, born in Potosí, Bolivia. In his later years he stated: 'I used to paint what I saw, I now paint what I imagine', very close to my own perception of 'not WHAT I see but HOW I see it'
