More monkeys! I now call them my podcast primates - that's when they appear. I don't need to think, just about what colour - the rest happens. I really enjoy them and find them amazingly, peaceful to paint. Best of all I can work on them while listening to podcasts and focus on what I am listening to.. Painting in acrylic takes more concentration for me, then I usually enjoy classical music or classical guitar & bit of classic gospel. There's nothing like Elvis, K.D. Lang or the Blind Boys of Alabama to sooth the soul.
Jordan Peterson likes classic Disney movies! Me too... I recently listened to the podcast on The Lion King & Carl Jung.
I understand the Lion King and how animators try to get the point across as best as they can, simply (with few words) 'visually' as possible. My opinion is yes, he nailed it. Everything he said does represent the best possible animated visuals. I thought - everyone must 'get it' but apparently many don't. I guess that's why not everyone is a successful animator - let alone a Disney animator. Animator means 'to be in be in spirit'- inspired, according to Jordan, I agree.
I'm curious to hear his take on Pinocchio.
When ever anyone is engaged in deep creation, they are absolutely in spirit. All else disappears.
When painting, I forget about covid, climate change (whew- it's been humid) and corruption. The Taliban too.
A break from the world and all events. My mind for my own health needs the break - how about you?
Jordan Peterson makes me think, some like him, some detest him- either way - he makes people think. Isn't that why we are all here? I have changed my mind on several topics after listening to him in depth.. I guess the most obvious, I'm not for choosing a specific politician any longer - Liberal or Conservative - each has their own agenda.
Call me 'Hoaky'... I am for the greater good of the people.
I try to understand the actions of others (& myself) before I judge and try not to judge at all, if possible.
Instead I try to chalk it up to 'new found knowledge', show some compassion or empathy & move on. Lesson learned.
One of my preferred quotes is: We're all just walking each other home. ` Ram Das.
I listen to podcasts so I don't become absorbed in thoughts of things I can't control, like the plight of women in Afghanistan right now. Cover yourself or risk being stoned to death. Steal food to feed your family & risk getting your hand chopped off - how will this create a community where anyone would want to live? Seeing images of humans hanging onto the wings & wheels of jets as they take off is a sign of desperation like I've never witnessed, if that is what they feel forced to do...
I can't & won't judge the life they have or the desire to leave.
Thankful for being born in Canada... No complaints here - except for the mosquitos. They suck.
Grateful to be able to paint primates while listening to podcasts.
