Visible or Invisible?
Now as they went on
their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed
him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and
listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so
she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left
me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord
answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many
things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which
will not be taken away from her.”

Jacopo Robusti took his nickname,
Tintoretto, from his father's profession of dyer (tintore). Notably devout, he
was much in demand as a painter of altarpieces and reli- gious narratives for
the churches and confraternities of his native Venice, and also executed many
portraits. He modified his style and technique according to the commission. He
sometimes deliberately imitated the style of other painters, but his ideal was
said to be 'the drawing of Michelangelo and the colouring of Titian'. What is
uniquely his own is his sense of drama, often verging on melodrama, expressed
through violent movement and vertiginous shifts in scale, as figures plunge
towards us or recede abruptly into the distance, and by lurid tonal or colour
contrasts.

A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought.
There is visible labor and there is invisible labor.

If
you treat glass right,
it
doesn’t crack.
If
you know the properties,
you
can make things;
the
color of dusk and night and love.
But
you can’t control people like that and I
really,
really wish you could.
I
want the world to be glass.

We
enjoyed a delicious lunch at Beso d’Arte in Morrison, Colorado,
after
playing the Par 3 course at Foothills Golf Course.
We
had a special showing of my buddy Jim’s lovely garden
after
our lunch. This weekend is the Garden Tour but I am busy
with
Summerfest so Jim gave us a private showing of his extensive gardens and
pathways.
