White heavens fall over the landscape

03 Feb

blog

A couple inches of show to hide the road.

It was the first I have seen of its ascension in many months. The sun that is. And, as the sun rose, I told myself a story. See, the great power of the mind is its the ability to lie to itself. Convince itself, propagate itself, hum gleeful bedtime stories to itself. Without this we would be illustrious observers and nearly nothing more.

par

To observe is not to appreciate the patterns in which the white heavens fall over the landscape; the sun diminishing the amble and digressing stories of the evening.

par

The clouds fell last night, and they are still falling this morning. But, there is still enough red in the sky for a sailors warning. As to the story you may wonder, well it was rather boring. Almost as much as that strained singular rhyme scheme.

Decomposition in Landfills

01 Jan

blog

A note for an investigation on garbage.

Does the removal of certain materials in landfills and similar waste management facilitates affect the other materials in the facility; mostly rate of decomposition? For example, do the end products of decomposed paper goods effect the change in decomposition in other materials, as in certain plastics? Are there companion planting methods of decay? If so, do recycling practices limit these relationships or enable them to prosper?

I have uploaded two recent paintings titled Connecting and The Remembering. Both were done a couple months ago -and if you follow me on flickr at all than perhaps you’ve seen them there- but finally got around to uploaded them on the site.

Along with my web arrangements, my house has undergone some change as well. The studio is opening up some and should allow better work flow. I have already started a few more pieces. Hope everyone is doing well.

A new layout is in the works for jimidemetriou.com.par
This will be version 7.par
It’s been a couple of years, but I’m still alive and well. Things around here should be a little cleaned up within the week (hopefully I have the time). Thanks your patience. Lots of new stuff in the works. I may even outsource the CMS, but we will see. Would like to finish/add to the current scripts I’ve developed for this site but I really do not have the time, as much as I detest the excuse. par

3 New Paintings

Three new paintings (to the internet)

I have posted recent paintings that were laying around the house. All three are from earlier in the year, but I’ve been a bit hesitant to whether or not they were finished or if I liked them. A sense of being over critical has come upon me. I felt it to be a bit limiting to my productivity, so here they are, your input is always welcome and appreciated.
