In the middle of the night
I was lying in bed unable to sleep thinking about the difference between a diary entry and a blog, how I’ve been advised to use the blog as a marketing tool, by repeating certain key phrases like “Contemporary Landscape Painter” or “Abstract Landscape Painter” to entice people who might be looking to find either a contemporary landscape painter or abstract landscape painter on to my site. So I have just used those terms twice.
The only person whose blog I am a regular reader of is Paul Krugman who writes for the NY Times. I haven’t noticed that in his blog that he makes regular references to being a Liberal Economist, but that’s probably because it’s already stated in his headline, the fact that he is well known as a Nobel Prize winner and the fact that he writes for one of the foremost newspapers in the world.
The use of the media is continually evolving, and the form that it takes moves very quickly, much faster than I as someone whose tools are made of hair attached to a stick, cloth wrapped around wood, pigment mixed with oil. These are the elements that I as one who uses the land and water, the play of light and dark, the scrubby bushes, strange configurations of broken branches, scattered rocks and stones to mix with the dreams, memories and musings to make some kind of image that perhaps someone who looks at the image is able to take into themself which will then set off their own set of dreams, memories and musings.
