rothko like? nah. there’s no other rothko but rothko.
mark rothko is one of my favorite painters. i was going to make a claim that this composition was rothko-inspired. but then i looked at his wiki page, and i thought “oh no you can’t compare this simple color block to a rothko painting. his blocks expand. and contract. and stir up emotions from death to enlightenment. they are spiritual. how dare you compare these simple tonal blocks to his work?” then i got over it, and thought; “ok, i was thinking about him when i pushed these balsam needles into place.” it’s an homage if not a recreation. an appreciation. thank you, mr. rothko, for whatever of you is in this, and whatever of me is aware of you.
balsam needles, old and young
Very well dine and written my friend.
I’ve only just begun writijg a blog very recently and hsve seen many bloggers simply rehash old ideazs but add vesry little
of value. It’s good to see a helpful article of some actua value to yur
readers and I.
It is actually goijg down on my list of things I need
to emulate being a neww blogger. Visitor engagement and material value are king.
Some wnderful suggestions; you’ve certainly got on my list of peoplle to follow!
Continue the terrific work!
Congratulations,
Jena
