Art- a perception and the visual consciousness.

When the eye comes in contact with a color, for instance yellow, visual consciousness arises which is simply an awareness that color is present with you at that moment in time. It is our perception that recognizes that it (color) is yellow. Yellow is the external visible form of the color. The composition of a painting is of perception and the visual consciousness of the mind that conceived it.
In closing, awed by the creation of the Karakoram mountains, I have always dreamed to going there of being in the abode of the mountain god and goddesses. Having traveled to far reaching places amongst a patchwork of cultures and surrounded by wondrous colors of Nature, I now realize that one may get to the mountain along the path, but the mountain is not the result. Living the experience is what matters.
God bless. Richard.
