Author notes
I believe this is part two,
below being part one...
Wonder
Illusion
conception of the mind
contradiction to the eyes
reality gone asunder
cause for wonder

part three---Surmise

Perception is key and you always are crafty in it. Excellent. Blessings.

The vocabulary for the three part progression of these writes is stellar, like I hear the words in this write as an ominous voice over for a clip of space, stars and earth.

Hah! I hear the voice of Carl Sagan---"Beeeeeeeeellions....."
Thank you, Steve,

I think my comment on your first piece in some ways could apply to this one as well.
In the drawing I particularly like the light shining from a doorway in one of the boxes. Even though the eyes can play tricks on the mind, light which would represent the the true image seems to always find even the smallest of cracks through which to shine.
-
-
Aha---no matter how hidden, how disguised,
the true nature shines through.
And relative to your first comment as mentioned,
the dual look picture---we see what we choose to see,
or how the magician directs the eye. -
-
It's funny how even when we know it's all smoke and mirrors we can still enjoy the illusions of the hand being quicker than the eye.
-
-
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....we allow ourselves to be fooled---
trompe l'oil--- -
-
Many people pay to see magic shows or professional wrestling for that matter purely for the entertainment value knowing on some level it can't possibly be real.
I had to google the French. lol
-
-
Oops, forgot to click on this one!
You missed the melodrama of the
withheld points and clicks. All
resolved before you returned!! -
Minimal fee here for so much entertainment, right?
Aaron Bohrod, eminent artist known for trompe l'oil,
selected art from college entrants for a display.
The piece of mine he selected now stands on the ledge
of the wall leading down to my basement. It's a watercolor,
painted on location on the streets of Chicago, a somewhat
abstracted view of tenements, viewed from an alley.
I was so impressed by him at a mid point of his life, so much
more to come. -
-
So much food for thought.
I'd love to see that piece sometime. I just googled Bohrod and what an honor he selected one of yours for display.
There's a particular painting that has stuck in my mind for years by Charles Wilson Peale. There was a special featured exhibition of his work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was a painting of two young colonial boys running up stairs. I remember feeling as though I could jump into the painting and follow them. I'll have to see if I can find it. Absolutely amazing. -
-
Did I mention how much I missed you, pix?
You should be sleeping!!! -
-
I meant for the link. I haven't been anywhere to be missed, lol
-
-
Hah!
You are always SOMEwhere
which could be NOwhere
or ANYwhere
or UNaware
or FARwhere... -

Remember the famous lines by Henry Fonda in "The Grapes Of Wrath?" About his being wherever some cop is beating up a man, wherever the poor go hungry, etc...I don't remember the words, but that's me, lol
-
-
You are EVERYMAN... or the writer taking notes.
-
-
Everyman? Please, I am not any of the Conservatives! They have Rush and can keep him as their Everyman! lol
-
-
My version,
the thinking liberal
with vision.
No conservative everyman!
The thinking, liberal, wondering everyman
with vision....taking notes.
How's that?
-
-
-
Can't remember the exact words either---
now will have to tuck my just-started perspective
drawing aside to try to find the lines.
Gathering all the pieces, the Wonder, Ponder, etc. together to live as one---eventually.

-
Ah, thanks
-
Awww, thanks
I missed you too.
Do you think it's wrong I'm still sipping coffee? I'm starting to think it is. lol
Best image I could find of the pic by Peale and it is in fact his sons who were artists as well...
"The Staircase Group (Portrait of Raphaelle Peale and Titian Ramsey Peale)"
-
-
Ah, an invitation to step through the doorway,
climb up the stairs. The turn of the starcase,
leading to the darkness....one wants to follow him!
Coffee at your 3:00 a.m. It's already tomorrow!
I have my mug stuffed full of an sssortment of fennel
stems and fronds, chamomile flowers, lemon balm leaves
and sprigs of spearmint, now at the stage of having
more water poured over to re-fill! the ever-giving herbs!
As well as the still flavorful lemon, cinnamon stick and
ginger slices tucked in. It's a big mug!
Elements to ponder!!! -
-
I'm running up and down the stairs with Dunkin.
I sort of lost track of my caffeine consumption on vacation and will now have hell to pay when I cut it back again.
Your brew is way healthier and fragrant than mine.
Elements to ponder...what chambers await at the top of the stairs. -
-
I'm pondering the scene---
caffeine-powered wind-up toy,
with the metal winder attached to the back,
so that's what vacation did for the winged one!! -
-
Energizer is looking for a new mascot. I just need to master the drum and that bunny is history! lol
-
-
Yem would have fun with that one
if he dug deep in here to find it!!!
I can see her at Whole Foods, flitting
from sprinkler to sprinkler, keeping
the organics fresher than fresh!!!
Look what pondering can do!! -
-
I just posted one popped kernel from this conversation. lol
Maybe Myrtle will make an appearance...I can see it now...an impish someone slipped Red Bull into her wheat grass smoothie. lol

The power of art via the brush,
via words to tranport us.
What a gift, creativity!
My lasting scene- Art Institute of Chicago--
huge painting--pointilism, one tiny dot/daub
at a time---Seurat's "Sunday Afternoon on the
Island of La Grande Jatte"---impressionist,
he died very young. I knew I was not destined
to create with tiny dots---but I ended up painting,
much later in life, on very small pieces of clay! -
-
A gift indeed.
We never know when past experience will pay off down the road.

Mmmm..I love the maze drawings...I feel this way quite a bit..some of my workmates refer to me at ditzy lol
-
-
Hah!
Well, as long as your work comes out
right side up---unexpected, but
somehow decipherable!!!
M-C
-
-
Yes... I 'see' that too.
-
as perception changes our reality changes,
I feel change coming on,
you have gone deeper into your soul
but this is but my perception
lovely creation always quite a sight,
God bless you my friend...
-
-
Let it be a good change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your perceptions are usually right on!!
Thank you, Kathy.
I'll happily take blessings!

Perception is a wonderful too...and you captured that whole annalogy subperbly. Blessings.

Thank you, Denise.
Always a challenge,
what lines and words
tempt the mind to create!

Illusion is the effect, perception is our ability to see it. I guess the key here (if we wish to see this as a warning) is to try to understand when there is an illusion and then try to see truth and not just what we perceive. I'm speaking of human interactions and not literal spacial things.
It's ok to be fooled, not ok not to learn from it. But of course I know about the spacial thing, but your poem delves deeper for me.
-
-
Ah, Yemmie, you always get to the heart of the matter!
I couldn't tackle all the thoughts, the interpretations in
one piece, so I am sailing along, lettting the illusions
suggest to the mind ---as in "Is it real or is it Memorex?"
--oh, that's a really old slogan!
