Bruegel is known as on of the greatest Flemish painters in the Art History. He was pioneering painting scenes from the rural environment. But how surprised I was when I realized that there is a leg extra for a number of people in this scene. If you look better on the right side, the person that carries tray has three legs.
Later on Descartes said: “I think, therefore I am”. I wonder was healso confused with this third leg too ?

A few “minor “questions these people are dealing with. Quotation:

“We’re asking three simple, challenging questions here at the frontier of particle physics:

What is the nature of the universe?

How did we get here and where are we going?”

On Monday 06-th of June I was chatting with my boss about music, jazz in particular, and I remember saying that I will newer get over Miles Davis.
Same day at 10 pm the SBS television was screening the documentary about Miles Davis.
Message to Love: The Isle of Wight Festival is the title of this documentary directed and written by Murray Lerner.
Lerner spends 25 years in raising money to be able to release this 128 minutes movie.
Thank you Mr. Lerner, your movie is really a great experience.

“Villager Murray Lerner spent 25 years assembling a documentary on Davis (“Miles Electric. A Different Kind of Blue”) with footage from his 1970 Isle of Wight concert. The documentary includes “seven electrified, electrifying minutes, that the filmmaker didn’t quite know what to do with.” http://www.thevillager.com

Miles Davis was just too good. He is saying that: Technique must be forgotten. You have to make mistakes to make something new.
This remended me on the poem Forgeting Knowledge - The Tao Te Ching:

FORGETTING KNOWLEDGE
Something new is acquired each day.
But when pursuing the way of the Tao,
something is subtracted;
less striving occurs,
until there is no striving.

The Tao Te Ching, Translation by Stan Rosenthal http://www.clas.ufl.edu

I have spent more than ten years being a visual artist. I started with classic drawing and painting and I remember how passionate I was about Leonardo’s Method in developing a color pallet.
“One need to spent most if the time making the appropriate color!!!”

As I was studying on the Art Academy, a mystery of color, form and perspective was my only interest for a 5 years.
We, students in the painting class, were so old fashion but we loved being old fashion. We had regular evening sessions of drawing and painting together, looking at reproductions of master pieces and analyzing them to the smallest detail. Caravaggio’s light and brush stroke, Van Gogh with his remarkable color composition and the letters he wrote to his brother etc.

This was 1994 -1999 and the Photoshop was already well known. A friend bought a scanner and I saw that exciting process of scanning than manipulating the image. What can one do in the Photoshop? Too many effects caused the talk if the classic painting process will survive in the future.
I have always loved computers and programming but I wasn’t sure what to thing about this. Actually I secretly thought no way any computer generated image can replace a painting done by a human. This remains my opinion.

This is a painting I did 1998 - A self portrait.

Today I am completely focused on the computer generated image and I am lacking time to get some oil colors on my hands. This is pity because I am a good painter and I love doing it. The only thing that makes this easer is that all the knowledge I have gained through the years of painting is very applicable on the development of the image in the movie.
After all Andrei Tarkovsky started his career as a painter. And when you see his movie you can tell this. He is painting his scene. Great example is his movie Nostalgia.

“Scientific visualization is an integral part of the process of simulating natural phenomena. In the computational sciences, the main goal is to understand the workings of nature. In order to accomplish this, the scientist proceeds through a number of steps from observing a natural event or phenomenon to analyzing the results of the phenomena. Visual representation of this data is often indispensible in gaining an understanding of the process involved. ”
