Me neither...

That artist seems to have a problem with trees too - I think they might need some help.

LOL

Lynx...

Thank you very much for sharing this artist with us. I always like looking at other artists' work, and I very much enjoyed looking at this artist's visual interpretations. I'd love to see your work as well if you have any online.

Interpretation of the hexagrams and lines is unique to every individual and every situation. And so will be, hopefully, visual interpretations such as these. I enjoy reading interpretations that are different from my own... and I enjoy seeing visual representations that are different from my own.

I particularly like his interpretation of hexagram 1. The tree is sublimely a dragon.

And I like his representation of hexagram 18. It feels so much like decay to me. <center>

Hi Val & all,

Another chance for me to tout the
Holitzka deck

Thank you! It's gorgeous. Of course I went googling...

I'm really tempted to buy it... or prints if they're available.

Have you seen the Tao Oracle deck by Ma Deva Padma? I bought it and love it and do really insightful readings using it. I never imagined that cards could produce as clear answers as coins or yarrow stalks, but they do and sometimes more because of their evocative nature. As a matter of fact, I brought them along with me today because I was asked to do a reading later.

Here's some samples I found through google and could download (they're so much more beautiful in person):

Hilary....

Arrrgghhh... your program apparently has it in for blondes... *wry grin*. It happened again! I never even attempted to upload images after the first time I hit post. I decided to go back and change the alt tag for the images... and THEN uploaded them.

Would you mind terribly deleting the first post with the empty images?

I think I've figured out how to avoid making the same blunder next time I change my mind. And that is to edit AFTER I've gone ahead and uploaded the images.

Thanks for your help and amazing patience *blush*

Love,

Val
Thanks.

Love,

Val

Thanks Val - Lone Pine is especially stunning.

FreemanC - I found the cards for sale online at Amazon - I was using a graphics pen and slipped - on one click buy.

That pack must have been meant to come here.

They are beutiful.

There you go, Val, all done

erm. Does anyone who knows about these things think I might get in trouble for the presence of these copyright images on my site? Or is this 'reasonable use' or whatever?

(And yes, they are lovely!)

Hi Hilary...

Thank you thank you thank you for deleting the less dynamic of my dynamic duo of posts.

Although it doesn't define the 'legal' implication of any applicable intellectual property law, my feeling when my art was 'posted' around was that it was free exposure and might possibly result in sales, so I was always pleased (AND flattered)... for what's it worth.

Love,

Val

there is this european guy that you can google 'i ching paintings of each hexagram' that were pretty good. he also had an impressionistic color and display of elements that kind of had the sensibility of light/earth dynamics play out on an i ching level. pretty amazing painter

i used to wonder if he was Lise's famous artist husband but i dont think it's him.
but i was digging his paintings and overall art too---and his quotes about real bread having the life force in it, with kernels that were thousands of years old still germinating--
made me think about chi in a new way

 

[megabbobby]

i like his paintings, and i also like the list of tai chi forms for the hexagrams.

 

[megabbobby]

this could be very educational

 

[kevin]

Still on my way to those painigs MegaB

[megabbobby]

i guess i was lying about that artist guy, i've been searching the google for him and i cant find him. it was awhile back that i saw his sight.
arrggh

 

[kevin]

No - he is there - I found him - Think he was Dutch - small Tai Chi thing ? next to / on each work... I got sidetracked and never posted - he is there.

I used Google on I Ching painting...

[kevin]

Had a quick look - didn't find it - But here is something by Lewis Thomson...

He says, "Nothing escapes it at all.
In the I Ching are included the forms and the scope of everything in the heavens and the earth."

He has a black sun too...
