This simple photomanip is called Meditation Lookout.
After sustained meditation a window opens up in the mind.
This window of awareness reveals the clear free spiritual sky
with a young waxing moon symbolizing increasing intelligence.
If I paint this image on canvass with oil paints and then photograph
it with a digital camera and then submit that image....
In what way will it be essentially different from what we have here?
If you care to comment, I really want you to say anything, anything you want.
As you know I have posted a whole series of paintings and drawings in my gallery.
And it raised some perceptual issues about the translation of created physical art objects into digitalized art objects.
I have to tell you there was a definite weirdness to that process.
Do you find that?
Anyway I decided that I would like to explore the process in reverse i.e. First digitalized object. second physical painting, just to see how that plays in the mind.
Needless to say I haven’t done the painting yet though the blank stretched canvass is right there on the easel.
Good to see the way your work has been developing. And many thanks for your insightful comment.

It is no paradox to say that the self neither comes to an end nor continues to exist.
this is really peaceful, calm and impressive. i love it, i can look at it for a long time and feel better....the window of awareness..i wish that the window would reveal a calm like meditation always-like yours, but im afraid tht window might bring too many dark, bleak clouds and stormy complex thoughts too. but i suppose thts the affinity.
your image reminds me rene magritte a lot.
thank you, it is really going to my favs and i will be searching peace through your window.
Thanks for taking a look at my gallery. I think it's good you left a note, cause I, chaotically as I am, forgot about - and you reminded me of - commenting on at least one of your works, since I watched some of them yesterday without having/taking the time to do so and regretting it. This one, obviously, drawed my attention and deserves to be commented. It strongly reminds me of another great work, by Magritte I guess.
I saw it 2 years ago in a Museum in Antwerpen/Anvers, Belgium. It touched me then. I don't know if you know it, it was a surreal work with a tree placed centrally in a painting almost entirely done in blue-tones. Just in the middle of the tree was the moon, shining bright as if not disturbed by the tree, the whole painting breathing that moonlight-meditative athmosphere that your painting does as well.
And I think it's that, that I like so much, in your work as well as in his; despite the complex forms of the trees he painted, the strongest part of the painting is the simpleness of the moon, that clearness of thought.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
El tema de lo que separa el arte y el diseño es complicado y se ha debatido durante mucho tiempo. Algunos diseñadores se consideran artistas, pero pocos artistas se consideran diseñadores.
Entonces, ¿Cuál es exactamente la diferencia entre arte y diseño?

i find painting to be meditative, myself.. so painting a balanced image is even more peaceful. my opinion.

To the extent that I meditate it is the opened eyes kind that I practice.
Thank you for your keen insight and drawing attention to this.
