poetics of pedestrianism

My painting of Mt Rainier from Sarvent Ridge. What an honor to see my work in people’s homes. Thanks for the photo @whiteowl81 and thanks for the patronage. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVIB3hn3l1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n5l0goe561n9

A small gouache painting I made this week. Also a blog I’m starting on art, spirituality, and everyday whutevs. Longing for our truest selves is the Advent of our time. www.matthewwhitney.com/within-my-darkest-night-post #walking #cartography #gouache #mapping #alineamongstotherlines #advent https://www.instagram.com/p/BrFwIAUnQiV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wxwnbekjd4to

I’ll be facilitating a weeklong retreat at the Grunewald Guild on contemplative practices for artists and creatives as part of their 2019 Summer Program. Take a look at the details on their website, and consider joining us! There will be walking. https://grunewaldguild.com/events/nurturing-the-soul-of-the-contemplative-artist-with-matthew-whitney/ #contemplativeart #artistretreat #grunewaldguild #matthewwhitney https://www.instagram.com/p/BqiIKsHn526/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h69hdfsiq58v

IMMERSED - ink and watercolor, 15x22 inches - new map drawings walking around Edmonds, titled “Navigating Liminal Space” - which I will be sharing this Thursday 5-8 at The Learning Center at Liminal Space in Edmonds. #mattpwhitney #edmondsartwalk

course correct- 15” x 22”, ink, gouache, and watercolor on paper. Here’s the second drawing for the Liminal Space art project. The drawing is of collaged bits of overhead city views, the line based on my path, and the word and it’s double-meaning carried by me (and most of us). I’m looking forward to sharing the work August 16th as part of Edmonds Art Walk. #mattwhitney #walkingart #alineamongstotherlines #cartographicart
