Mark Rothko No. 18, 1951 oil on canvas, 81 ½ × 69 ⅞ in. (207 × 170.5 cm), Munson Museum, Utica, NY

Here’s a new scan of this painting (our old one wasn’t awful) that highlights a brighter and lighter touch on the canvas. You see here a better capture of the white translucency which halos the lower half of the painting in a somewhat pink border as the base color peers through. These Rothko techniques are so much a part of his art, it’s nice to be able to observe them if only on a computer screen.

“Bob and I passed by this cafe in Portland, Oregon. He was thinking about some coffee. I was looking at the window and he ran in. His face appeared in the window to see if I was coming but I shot a couple of frames instead and then we wandered on down the street.”—A. Rosato.

Thread of life through harsh hills, the Jordan River coils southward from the Sea of Galilee, creating a swath of plenty. Jesus was about 30 years old, according to St. Luke, when He came to the Jordan to be baptized by John the baptist before beginning His ministry. Except for a norther segment, the entire valley lay within Jordan until last June [of 1967], when Israeli troops swept in and seized the western bank, left.

(Tumblr’s feed won’t enlarge these to full size on the dash, but if you go to the blog page you can enlarge it there. This can be worth your clicking time because with Rothko, bigger is better)
