Studio Art Talks w/Robbin Milne

Creative expression is a necessary part of my life. Social Audio has enhanced that for me.

I just received this small translation of Letters to a Young Painter, translated by Damion Searls in 2017. I won't be reading this into audio, but taking a break from social audio and other platforms to read it and paint. Copyright does not allow me to read this aloud, I am respecting that. But the work is available and I will be ingesting it over the next few weeks. Here is a link to a review of the book: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2017/11/27/rilkes-letters-young-painter/

Last night I came home to the news of Mary Oliver's passing and was immediately struck with loss and grief. I love her work and had just been reading her "Upstream" collection. I made this short audio cast to honor her passing and to confirm for myself, I would continue reading, reciting and allowing her work to inspire my painting. #poet #MaryOliver
