New Paintings from the Carolinas & Grayson Highlands

"Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone" – those words of Jesus echo down the ages and are applicable to many situations where traditional reasoning has become the corpse of 'wisdom', keeping us fastened to the rut. Tradition is such an enemy of truth, of the need to turn and be re-acquainted with fresh life. I've tried to find the right words to define where I am over the last nearly 3 years, since that eventful moment, when part of my brain got scrambled. How do you abbreviate "Post-stroke-makeover-period" and attach it to your artistic rehabilitation? PSMP? Not exactly an endearing 'Blue Period'! Perhaps you have a suggestion?  :-)

After spending many years, with my family, traveling, exploring and sojourning geographically, a new form of exploration has become available and at hand. I've often liked to respond with a little comment, especially when presented with visual wonders, and translated as interpretations into paintings, where any such gift I can only ascribe to my Creator.

Recently, I've been able to enjoy observing the best winter, spring and summer in my seventeen years in generously hospitable quarters in the United States and have found ample opportunity to reflect in details, many things that I previously took for granted. Immobility slows you down to a point where you can explore details within immediate reach. While not being able to handle large sheets of glass for protecting watercolours, I've been able to continue with miniatures and painting oils on canvas, which are so much easier to handle with one hand.

But I have noticed, as slow as life has become, things get done! So I've collected a series of paintings newly produced and have put them together on my website and you can browse through them on https://www.kosinskistudio.com/for-sale/  Feel free to propagate to friends.
