		<title>Late Night Painting II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[II.
Sometimes, one aspect gets to drive and choose where we&#8217;re going. If Bear gets hungry is so hungry that he won&#8217;t let Mr. Business Man stop to think then the Mr. Business Man needs to compromise for a moment and allow Bear a chance to eat, understanding that he and Bear share the same body [...]]]></description>

		<title>Late Night Painting I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I.
3:30 in the morning: one of my favorite times of the day. Or night as it were. Or morning, really. After painting for five or six hours, the lights get turned off and candles are lit. I can only paint for so long. There is not only a law of diminishing returns at this hour [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Consistency (or the lack thereof)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s been said by some that my work is inconsistent. In a sense, I can agree. I have not painted the same painting a thousand times. I have not painted twenty white canvases or twenty vases of flowers or twenty paintings of things on fire. I haven&#8217;t gone out and made twenty mountain landscapes. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kandinsky&#8217;s Pyramid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;d like to share an excerpt from &#8220;Concerning the Spiritual in Art&#8221; by Wassily Kandinsky, published in 1914. I have found the visual representation of the job of the artist, as he describes it, to be particularly helpful when I try to understand my place in this world as an artist. Kandinsky, who might to [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Open Apology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may know I went to Art Basel Miami a month ago in December. While I was there I attended the Moksha Art Fair. It was a multi-faceted event and featured some really beautiful and powerful artwork. As I sat on the plane on the way home, a bit worn out from five days [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art, Stories, and Galleries &#8211; Recent Happenings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coming back to center after what seems like a month (and is!) away from writing much. To get the words flowing again maybe we retrace our steps. It seems like there was this beginning of winter thing. Violet and I shared bouts of fluishness that left us feeling far less inspired than we would have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art Basel III: Moksha Art Fair II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Moksha Art party that occurred on Saturday night (and well into Sunday) was a particularly crazy affair with the usual sort of silk dancers, performances, fire dancers, art art and more art, lights, music - live and otherwise, vendors, much carousing, spoken word performances, multiple dance areas, etc etc. One person told me it was the best party she'd ever been to. I was honored with a chance to paint on the main stage alongside Shrine, Alex Grey, and Allyson Grey. The painting I painted through the course of the night is called something like The Immutable Core.]]></description>

		<title>Mansions of the House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve got to step up inside myself and stand there at my door sometimes; you know, not hang out deeper inside the mansions of my mind, thinking someone might find me back there, painting or daydreaming, biding my time, enjoying the view. Sometimes I&#8217;ve got to step up and be the doorman. Welcome! Welcome I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art Basel II: Moksha Art Fair I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The antithesis of "The Art Basel Art World" was the Moksha Art Fair, put on by a sort-of family of local lovers of so-called "visionary" art and alternative lifestyles. Part art show, part warehouse party, part performance, and, for better or worse, a lot of craziness, it spanned Thursday through Sunday, with an all-night party planned for Saturday night.]]></description>

		<title>The Emperor&#8217;s New Clothes (or: My Visit to Art Basel Miami)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What really got me,&#8221; said Myra, &#8220;was how that one woman was passing along those black canvases and, whatever she was seeing in them, I don&#8217;t know. But she was really trying.&#8221;
Yes, whatever she was seeing in them. She was trying to see into them, really. But what could that have been? She was seeing [...]]]></description>
