“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Sturdy.” Yes. The linen artist’s canvas is very strong and sturdy, the best kind to use for paintings, and I bought it with this purpose in mind.

(“And a connection with, I believe, the same number of large colored squares or rectangles. Rather brilliant. The color red among others, and yellow.” It seems here that Jane referred to the purpose for which I bought the canvas—to paint on. Some of my recent work has been in the abstract vein, also, and incorporates squares, angles, etc., some of them in brilliant primary colors. Actually I have not painted any pictures on the specific batch of linen which furnished tonight’s envelope object; but I have painted on other canvas of a comparable texture, etc., and which was prepared in the same manner. Association thus could be at work. There could be other connections also.

(This is a stronger connection than it would seem, for Tom is a friend of ours who visits us fairly often. He also paints himself. Other references to Tom crop up in the data also.

(“A design on rectangle.” The object is rectangular; it bears no design, but being canvas is meant to ultimately. A larger interpretation would be that I applied the linen canvas to large rectangular pieces of Masonite, with the idea of painting on these. I made no square panels for instance, not caring for this proportion.
