Damien Hirst (UK, 1965)
_
Politeness, from the Eight Virtues, 2021
Hirst working on Excitement’s Blossom (2020) photographed in his studio by Prudence Cuming Associates.
Cherry Blossoms series were exhibited at the Fondation Cartier, Paris 2021-22
Unlike his infamous early Spot Paintings, w their mechanical-like precision crafted by assistants, the Cherry Blossoms fully embrace the return of the artist’s hand.

Have you ever seen night going?
The midnight and its songs?
The sunrise and its beauty?
We are behaving almost
like blind people
In such a beautiful world we are living in small ponds of our own misery
Otherwise there is so much joy all around
You have just to be aware of it
and to become a participant,
not a spectator
Philosophy is speculation,
Zen is participation
Participate in the night leaving, participate in the evening coming
Participate in the stars and participate in the clouds
Make participation your lifestyle and the whole existence
becomes such a joy,
such as ecstasy
you could not have dreamt
of a better universe
~OSHO

New oil paintings I did this month.
After everything I went through last year, I've struggled to feel human again. Finally, I am calm in my mind and can sit for a painting ..I think I'm improving too.
I learned from the Masters. Bob Ross and Annette Kowalski.

In the mellow cadence of the afternoon, with light dancing through the canopy of an old oak, she stood, a vision of gentle joy and creativity. Her spirit seemed to flutter and alight like the sunbeams around her, setting her honey-lit curls aglow. The mirth in her eyes sparkled with a kindred light as she tended to the canvas with strokes as tender as a lover's touch.
Clad in garden hues and denim softened by the hands of time, the woman embraced her art as a silent confidante, weaving stories upon the weave of her easel. Her laughter, though unheard, was palpable in the upturn of her lips as the brush danced between her delicate fingers. In her presence, the world around her took a breath, pausing in appreciation of the radiant alchemy unfolding at her hands.
Amidst a backdrop of fleeting shadows and whispering leaves, her soul, unbound, rejoiced in the unfettered pursuit of her passion, the artist and her art becoming one under the warm embrace of a setting sun.
