Jean Painleve on Criterion
Finally picked up the films by Painleve. Criterion released all his films in one collection. Beautiful imagery and fascinating observations.

Another strange bird - detail and Francis Bacon quote
Not anywhere done this painting. It's a messy one, but I'm pushing myself. Been thinking a lot about this (Francis Bacon) and applying it to an article I'm writing:
6. Another error hath proceeded from too great a reverence, and a kind of adoration of the mind and understanding of man; by means whereof men have withdrawn themselves too much from the contemplation of nature, and the observations of experience, and have tumbled up and down in their own reason and conceits. Upon these intellectualists, which are notwithstanding commonly taken for the most sublime and divine philosophers, Heraclitus gave a just censure, saying, MEN SOUGHT TRUTH IN THEIR OWN LITTLE WORLDS, AND NOT IN THE GREAT AND COMMON WORLD; for they disdain to spell, and so by degrees to read in the volume of God's works: and contrariwise by continual meditation and agitation of wit do urge and as it were invocate their own spirits to divine and give oracles unto them, whereby they are deservedly deluded.
