Pointillism is a favourite of mine. I really enjoyed your approach and insights.

Thank you so much! In a way, given how technology has dealt with color, Seurat was beyond prescient. Truly visionary.

Such a delight to read another of your essays; written with love, understanding, and authority.

I wonder, do you approach your writing with the discipline of a scientist?

So happy to have you along on this one, Tom! Thank you for your question. I definitely have a method of questioning my own subject matter with the focus upon what I would like to know. I write as much for my own growth as for sharing. I also have a gift for drama because of my background in theater. I am always conscious of atmosphere and presentation.

Color theory has been a large part of my life, and there is a logic to this period and Pointillism’s break away of pushing art toward science which has always fascinated me.

This says so much! You are very kind. It is what I hoped it would be. In all honesty, writing daily has been my sanity through all this. I search for the solutions of the past for a way forward in times when people seem too busy to look back at what we already know. I put it right at the top of my stack!

In a sea of acceptance, it only takes a few to create the change which matters. This is what history teaches us. Then others will follow.

I've read somewhere, that somebody said "writing is a form of prayer"

Thank you! It’s one near to my heart. There is a logic to this period and Pointillism’s break away which has always fascinated me. Color theory has been a large part of my life.
