task, then, of seeing beyond our conventions of thought and painting
what the world looks like remains daunting, and yet, most rewarding.

In fact, the experiences that open up seem identical to what the
Eastern traditions describe as the state of enlightenment. Not only
does the world begin to look different with each new veil of the

artists, from all generations, have described the feeling of barriers
between themselves and their subjects falling away and there remaining
simply a sense of oneness and a sense of profound love. These

first, and then to do. In the training of color seeing, it is better to have “no idea” what you are doing, and then do.
