Sacred Foothill

The Sacred Foothill
Becomes especially important
In wintertime

When the driving snow comes
And you can no longer see
The Sacred Mountain above

Small though it may be,
As one ascending
Out of the darkness
Toward the Light,

I need this foothold in sanity
To remain steady
In the whiteout of chaos
That is the world

Eight New Paintings

Sol Luckman

"Beneath Sol Luckman's spare lines are universes of strokes, careful and conscious applications of brush movement to impart unseen dimensions, hint at that which we only experience subtly. This is amazing work." Art Rosch, professional photographer

As a longtime novelist and writer of nonfiction books, that I have been drawn to paint with ink certainly is not lost on me.

And as I am when composing actual words, in my paintings I am committed to exploring and depicting energy—specifically, that engrossing spiral of universal creative energy that is consciousness.

I see the world, and paint it, with a shaman’s eyes, as a place not wholly solid, but informed by a kinetic vibrancy that is fundamentally intelligent.

I am describing, of course, Great Spirit.

         http://www.crowrising.com/images/watermark%20images/monumentvalley2wm.jpg        
For Great Spirit is the world, just as the world is Great Spirit.

And not one of us is left out of this simple, all-encompassing equation.

It is my intention that you, too, will see this universe of energy in my paintings—as objects condition space with their essence, and vice versa, and the outside conflates with the inside because All Is One.
