The feeling of seeing is of particular interest to me in my paintings. My work is based on my experience of how Nature's generative power is part of the seeing process. This is expressed first in the metaphor I’ve chosen for the overall image of the work. Second, is the viewer seeing the sequence of movement in the drawing and color relationships in the paintings. The generative parts of the painting become another level of feeling for the viewer.

Philosopher Paul Brunton says,
We have seen how the simple statement, “I see a tree before me,” will, if properly analyzed lead its utterer all the long way from materialism to mentalism. The whole wonder of world creation lies in this simple operation.
The Wisdom of the Overself
(Mentalism is Paul Brunton’s term for non-duality.)
What does it mean to say, “I see,” to experience seeing? This was the central focus of modern art and the subject we will take up by looking at the artwork and writings of Cezanne, Matisse, Klee and others. These modern artists took up this inquiry in the act of creating their artwork and by seeking the single source of artistic creation and nature.
We will look at artwork and supplement this with writings by philosopher Paul Brunton and the artists themselves.
Vincent Joseph will make a presentation with group participation welcomed.
