“In the streets outside everything was still. The hour before five was the only time of say this city slept. In my earlier life, during the twelve years I had lived in Bergen I used to stay up at night as often as I could. I never reflected on this, it was just something I liked and did. It had started as a student ideal, grounded in a notion that in some way night was associated with freedom. Not in itself but as a response to the nine-to -four reality which I, and a couple of others regarded as middle-class and conformist. We wanted to be free,’we stayed up at night. Continuing with this had less to do with freedom than a growing need to be alone,” Karl Ove Knausgaard, #MyStruggleBookOne. This is early work from #tuscany. It was my first painting trip to #europe anc the scenes were so beautiful that the arc of learning was to overcome how useless a canvas seemed compared to just looking. It’s all #artandlivingenergy , art of life, however someone tries it, #cooking, #loving, #painting, #acting, #writing, #traveling, #talking. The best part is that the #communion is #alwaysavailable, no matter what you think it is. #femaleartisthasaviewpoint #abstractexpressionism #italy. #freedomisincontention. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsYzzoJD4zI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=canqftp1nacb
