An Art Work A Day

This month I have decided to paint just for fun, using scrunched up paper and fingers or whatever and just go wild.

Today someone gave me a hurtful remark and this painting is my reply. Me saying Nyah Nyah.

Today's painting is inspired by a question which is used by many in many different settings, lots of them philosopical and methaphorical.

The use of ink on rice paper as well as the choice of a philosopical theme is is honor of the Olympics in Beijing.

Question: How tall does a tree grow?

Answer: As tall as it's environment allows

Solution: Save the environment

There are many wise ways to use this image in connection with self-growth: if we don't feel as if we're growing, one way to kick growth is that we can change our environment, get out of our comfort zones and see what will happen.

"How tall does a tree grow?" "As tall as it can, " answers Jim Rohn.

Another interesting thing about threes that all the "you can be a success-guys" seem to forget is that it knows when to stop and maybe even when to shed it leaves and take a winter's break from growing.

I wish you all a life as the best trees you can be. Trine

Today's abstract painting is inspired by an old philosophical riddle :

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

and an ecological version of it.

If a Tree Falls in the Forest, and No One Is Around to Hear It, Does Climate Change?

Today I watched the opening seremony of the Olympic games in Beijing. I therefore brought out my ink stone and ink stick and my chinese brushes as well as rice paper. It has been a while since I used these technique so I definately need to practice a bit before my brush work is as I would like it.

One of the things connected to conserving our planet is the issue of endangered species. Among those already extinct the dinosaurs are the best known.

Often when we talk or think about the enourmous challenges our planet faces we desper.
Recent science and climatic change already happening tell us that in fact it is already too late - what we do now is to try to reduce the disaster. We already have ruined so much of the ecology and polluted so much, we have already endangered so many species and got used to a life style that can not be sustained by the planet. We have to start building to save so many inhabited places that are low lying. It can sometimes lead to desperation.

Desperation,

Whenever we talk or think about sustainability we have to think about both past and future generations. We, this generation both suffer some results of bad decisions made by earlier generation as well as having stopped using more ecological ways of using this Earth when producing things. In addition the reason why we have to do something now is future generations - our children. grandchildren and so on.

One of the things that intrigues me this year especially is the tiny worlds within our worlds or the basis for the ecosystems. That means all the tiny things that go on down in the grass or in the corals at sea and the plankton and the insects. Things like that. All those things that has to work for the larger things to be able to feed and live.

Well, today is the third day of the August challenge
