"Perennial" - Illustration Friday July 22/2011

Inspired by the Illustration Friday quote:
"A good scientist is a person in whom the childhood quality of perennial curiosity lingers on. Once he gets an answer, he has other questions". - Frederick Seitz

Childhood curiosity leads us with a string of questions into unexplored territory. Finding one answer, the mind is already wondering about the next question. And the next. And the next. Observations shed in the quest for a particular answer surface later for further exploration.

  10. Oh you are catching me up with Emile Nolde in the terrain! And the eys in the hands, and the rain of eyes and the whole enigmatic movement and sharp angles - it's such a wonderful composition, lots of expressionistic tendencies I see - with this and the last one

  11. THanks for the comments everyone!
    Andrew - went dutifully to look up Emil Nolde - images sear, name falls away - what courage he has, what energy! The colour shouts, demands, insists -

  15. I enjoy your line work! I like B&W drawings, because it doesn't distract from the essence. And so true what Rabbit Town Animator said...

    I put here an other quote , wise words by Jean Piaget : " If you want to be creative, stay in part a child, with the creativity and invention that characterizes children before they are deformed by adult society".
