Blank Canvas

[Brimstone]

What is a painting without a blank canvas? It isn't recognised or obvious when you look at the painting, despite the fact it is as much a part of the painting, as the painting itself. 

[Joseph Maynor]

@Brimstone Everything is born out of that blank canvas.  Without silences music could not exist.  Without whiteness the black marks of writing could not spin their tales.

"Emptiness is form" 

Emptiness doesn't need to be drawn. Therefore is eternal and ever present

Totally @Dodo

Add conciousness to emptiness and form and the possibilities are beyond endless

[Dodo]

Emptiness is consciousness

@Brimstone What amazes me is how most people see only the paint and totally ignore the canvas.

So true @cetus56 , although not surprising given the moment mind notices the canvas it is gone

I was looking at this picture and thinking how existence is only a shadow of true reality.

Nice

what is, painting, what is

without the comers, yet never denying them
