Thinking. is an ink drawing on acid free card. It is connected to Psychologist James’ Psychology painting. Here we image an android type of female bust with cogs and white lines of wisps from her head. She wears a bright royal blue headress behind all of the fancy accoutrements. Astride the headress on both sides are images of naked people in thinking poses. In thinking we have to delve into the ‘naked truth’ of matters that require logical analysis and also with feeling to emotionally bond with the judgement. When James the psychologist sits with me, it is this that is so important we do- we cultivate our art of thinking. This is part of the Specialist Series. 2024-2025
This painting is part of a new series of paintings and drawings that is titled for now ‘The Specialist Series’. This is the 2nd painting that has been completed and now is framed and glassed with non reflective glass. ‘Psychology’ is a painting showing psychologist James seated in the chair on which he listens to me . A most caring psychologist. He makes me feel that it is good to let my hair down when i see him. He helps me to keep in touch with who I am inside., I can spend time with him sharing my calamities or woes, happiness-es and wins . It has been several years now that I have visited him, and honestly, I would not know how I could go without his guidance. (I can … but gee, he helps to make my life much better). Some people, like myself understand that when having a medical life like I have, it can be hard to be in touch with yourself sometimes, as pain and malady can take you to places that you often visit, but do not wish it to become the only believable part of us. All the people in this new series are kind, caring, and are very special people who have the gift of imparting love and care through the very work that they do for the public’s service. They have all impacted my life in helping me be me as much as I can, directly, and indirectly. How can I not paint these people? They need to have honour forwarded to them and be acknowledged. Without them, where would we be? Acrylic paint. Approximately520cms x 620cms framed.
