I did some gallery sitting at the ArtDC exhibition last month. I had a painting, "Rose", in the show, not a photo. The whole experience was a lot of fun. The artwork was varied and interesting, all of it. The space was a roughed out, soon to be office space, space. Funky, but interesting. And made much better by the artwork that was hung there. Anyway, "sitting" is not that unlike sitting za zen. It's quiet. There's not a lot going on. It's an opportunity to be very much in the present moment. Somewhere a water tap is dripping. A car or truck drives by and the sound slowly builds, then slowly fades away. Sunlight comes through a dirty window and dust moats quietly float across the beam of warm light. There were a few visitors to look at the art, but mostly it was just the quiet and me. So I took a few pictures.

Stumble It!
