Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?

Leonardo da Vinci

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

Salvador Dali

Notations on a Theme

When I was sixteen I went to my friend Arlette’s house to see her new pet ducks. It seemed she had hatched these creatures from eggs, making Arlette the first thing the ducklings laid their eyes on (I wasn’t in the room so I do not know the details of the birth).

Arlette explained to me that the hatchling duck imprints the first thing it sees as its mother. This was the first time I heard the word “imprint” used in a narrated context.

Strong ideas imprint themselves on me. The strongest ones sometimes become paintings. The above is a collection of twenty of my strongest ideas in a box, one card is a trifold of my ten-year-paintingKeep Your Eye On The Ball.
Another in this series is a bifold of dancing elephants inspired by Micronesian Tribal Masks.

The ducks, Poco and Garcia, followed Arlette everywhere.
