I am vibrant today, Todays pictures of my work is vibrant and if you are not vibrant yet, then I pray you will be when your reach the end of the blog..

Welcome brothers and sisters today OK

Firstly I should like to say that if you type into YOUTUBE The artist Peter Kimble, then I want to say that sorry, but I am like Russel Brand and other artists, in that we work better when sober and on no circumstances should be operating heavy machinery. Be it Missile launchers or combine harvesters! That said, I want you to know that the news of Amy`s death brought me in close connection to my beloved wife Tracys suicide and I did hit the bottle that day with a vengeance. Yep I know I should have left all the feelings of loss in the hands of God, but I am not yet perfect...
That said my son had to plead with me to hit him with his homemade club.
Lastly the talk I gave at The Royal Academy of Art was probably the one I like best for now, but I am new and unpolished when it comes to being in front of the camera.

Hope that you like all these - or some - of these photos of my art. If you dont, then bless you, I love you anyway.

                     Turmoil can be okay if we go with the flow. Then again, going against the
                     current can at times be electrifying.

    Oh yes, please be aware that all these shots are from my work & havent been computer changed!

                                     Below . An abstract Frenchman stoops to pick up his
                                     cases in an abstract place.

                                      He had better look back over his shoulder as there could be
                                     an abstract monster materializing!

    Dont let dark distorting shadows spoil our world. The vision may be coloured by our own perception. Lighten our minds and we may change not only our point of view, but that which is seen.

                                                        In sublime meditation.

        This shot above has just as I started typing this line, think of going and painting in a state of joy and love..

    I know I laid the paint thick on the paper for the shot below, but that doesnt count for all the 3d!

                                                            This above is a blessing and
                                                            a wish. I will make it a prayer...

   There is a lot of action above.. But look below also and see an abstract me leaping halfway down the painting, across I dont know what. But, look, whats that blue thing I am holding in my hand.. Answers to petgkimb@gmail.com and I shall put it and your name or nickname in an update below the picture below.  Come on folks. One of you at least has got to be creative enough to come up with an imaginative response. Who knows, Russel Brand or Homer Simpson might have a go and you beat them with pure audaciousness, dooo.

                                            At this moment, my mind heart and soul are a
                                          part of a temple peace and tranquility.
                                          You can join me from where you are and be connected
                                           transcendentally in the same place where joy can grow
                                           and hope nfold and confidence increase.  Outside our
                                           heart and minds there may be conflict and turmoil. . .
                                                but within, let there be love and peace.

I really do love these two shots. They are only two tiny pictures from a much larger work. But I can       compare them abstractly to say the wedding of me and my beloved late Tracy and her death and my hurt...

                                            This one I shot below does not look better
                                               larger. I am only an average photographer in
                                                 my opinion. I wouldnt be offended if someone
                                                 said "You what, you are flattering yourself you shit.
                                            My response would have to be, "Bless you and thank you."

                                             This is all for today folks and surely you will have
                                              to admit there is lots of art here to enjoy for free..

                                              Oh how nice it would be if one of you was going to be in the area, say visiting london. Then you could hop on a train and I would meet you here and its only 1/2 and hour or more Luton train station, which is only down the road from this humble abode and you could have a cup of coffee and look through my hundreds of paintings! Its a thought isnt it and you know what they say? Thoughts can become reality.. Anyway, Maisy our beloved pooch is snoring on the couch and its not even midday. We did go out twice already and she ran her little cotton socks off.. No she didnt, (she wears hobnailed boots.) thats just my artistic license allowing an bit of nonsense in at the end of this blog.. I have up to now, never ended a blog with a name of the day, but this is the first. The name of the day today is
 Hieronymus Bosch.
This was fortunate for me as I came across some images of  Hieronymus bosch doc martens.
 Yes I liked them but thought I may like more to wear Peter G Kimble doc martens.. What do you think!

Your brother in art and Christ, Peter G Kimble

Fish on Friday.

Good day to you my wonderful brothers and sisters. Lets get right into some art which you will see here first. Yep and if you dont see it here where I am then secondly it can be seen on this blog...

As its a Fish on Friday blog I am bringing you quotes from the founder of a fighting art, which may seem strange to some of you! Yet when you get into it you may well know where I am coming from, but not where I will end up!

Morihei Ueshiba. 14 December 1883 – 25April 1969. was a philosoper, martial artist, author, and the creator of the discipline of Aikido.

• The Way of the Warrior has been misunderstood. It is not a means to kill and destroy others. Those who seek to compete and better one another are making a terrible mistake. To smash, injure, or destroy is the worst thing a human being can do. The real Way of a Warrior is to prevent such slaughter — it is the Art of Peace, the power of love.
  • Speaking of a vision of the "Great Spirit of Peace" in 1942, during World War II, as quoted in Adjusting Though Reflex : Romancing Zen (2010) by Rodger Hyodo, p. 76

 “As soon as you concern yourself with the "good" and "bad" of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weakens and defeats you.”
― Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace

• I felt the universe suddenly quake, and that a golden spirit sprang up from the ground, veiled my body, and changed my body into a golden one. At the same time my body became light. I was able to understand the whispering of the birds, and was clearly aware of the mind of God, the creator of the universe.
  At that moment I was enlightened: the source of Budo is God's love — the spirit of loving protection for all beings … Budo is not the felling of an opponent by force; nor is it a tool to lead the world to destruction with arms. True Budo is to accept the spirit of the universe, keep the peace of the world, correctly produce, protect and cultivate all beings in nature.
  • An account of an experience of transcendent awareness, soon after a contest where, unarmed, he defeated a naval officer armed with a bokken (wooden sword) without harming him; as quoted in Aikido (1985) by Kisshomaru Ueshiba

 “The divine is not something high above us. It is in heaven, it is in earth, it is inside us”
― Morihei Ueshiba

 “When you bow deeply to the universe, it bows back; when you call out the name of God, it echoes inside you.”
― Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace

 “may you be happy, may you be well
may you be peaceful and at ease
may you be filled with loving kindness
And compassion for all beings”
― Morihei Ueshiba

                                            
      Sorry folks, but the above should ideally be rotated to the right,
But I  assure you that it will be a whole lot easier for you to tilt your head down to the left, than me fix it!
I found it worth tilting my head and it was a lot easier than tilting at windmills with a lance.
                                                        

    “Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.”
― Morihei Ueshiba

 “One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.”
― Morihei Ueshiba

 

“To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace.”

― Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace 

 “The Art of Peace is the principle of nonresistance. Because it is nonresistant it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished. The Art of Peace is invincible because it contends with nothing.”
― Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace

 “The Art of Peace is the religion that is not a religion; it perfects and completes all religions.”
― Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace

                                                      This below is a photo I took of the
                                                       computer code to a picture. I would
                                                      like something like this on my wall, but
                                                      a lot bigger! Say 5oo cm x 1metre.
                                                       May be not black on white, but other
                                                      colours! (colors for USA) Bless you
                                                      and you own version of English.

 

                                                

     Here is my beloved pooch. 

Not in computer code.

 That is just about it for now my wonderful brothers and sisters. I am just about finished this blog which I have been composing whilst listening to

Jim Gaffigan - Mr. Universe (Full Stand Up Show) 2014 On Youtube..

Slightly incongruous for a fish on friday blog, but I am trying all ways to remain not just treading water, but plowing through the ocean waves at such a pace I just cant sink down.. UPside is to feel the feelings and those who know me will know there have been a few significant deaths in my life! So brothers and sisters, the feelings I have often been avoiding over the years are the natural ones we should expect after losing ones parents at two years old and sixteen. Then my beloved wife Tracy when I was around 34yrs. I cant be exact as her death left me with a brain injury.

Now, me and the world have been blessed with two more wonderful Kimbles who are now at high school and will then go on to achieve great things. 

 Its not all doom and gloom though as I hope you will agree from my art! Well do you? Okay if you dont.  Now I am listening to; 

jim gaffigan beyond the pale

  I recommend this as part of a holistic way to get on the right track or road to enlightenment.

Okay folks, I am laughing at this guy I told you about earlier in the blog. This one though is jim gaffigan beyond the pale; on YouTube.

Ok. This is the end of the blog, just about. 

 
 
Have a good day and remember I can be contacted; petgkimb@gmail.com Your bro Peter.
