Continuing with my attempts at meditative visualisation. Haven't had a lot of time for it the last few days (because I got asked to do the business illustrations for a report at work, which was rather nice!) but in blue is a scene that has repeatedly surfaced. A picnic table, a beer at my elbow, long grass dotted with mountain flowers, a fence, and distant slopes.

Do I see it? Yyynnnyynneoes? I don't know. I have moments, fractions of a second, when a feeling of dreaminess sneaks over me and I get a little pseudo-sense of shape and colour; the blue of the sky, the white of the peaks contrasted against the darker grey flanks, the green of the grass and the yellow of the flowers. It's more tangible than my usual mental furniture in which I know a thing is a colour without sensing that colour - but they fade instantly and I'm back to my daytime brain. Which has a reasonable concept of space and can sketch something halfway near what is inside my head and put it on the outside, but doesn't do well at persuading ME that I'm seeing anything except my screen.

Anyway, I'm hoping that by sketching the recurrent scenes I can get better focus, and maybe generate longer dreamlike-flashes. Of course I may just be falling asleep, but I'm going to hope not.

In red/brown is something that surfaced today; a hollow mountain. Don't ask me about the physics of a river running through a mountain because I don't know. The perspective is wrong, should have drawn from a lower viewpoint, and the path is supposed to curve right around and behind... but I don't know how to put that onto an image. I got about a 180 degree flash and that's hard to figure out with my eyes open. I also don't have a good grasp of the fundamentals of landscapes... some study might help here.
