“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The artist became at that point truly an initiator, no longer supported by the cultural society. While the majority were still immersed in the old, the artists were already experimenting with the new, and became to some extent outlaws to their own people.

If there have been built-in time bombs, as Ruburt once said, there have also been built-in points to lead you into new highly-productive areas.

(This is excellent material, as I told Jane. I explained to her after the session that I wasn’t sure about the reference to purple or violet, which I seldom use directly because they are hard to integrate into a painting—at least for me. By the next day, I may know why Seth made the reference. The reds I use, being cadmiums, can take on a decided violet cast when mixed with white. This must be kept under control. The painting I am working on now features a cadmium red shirt on the subject, and has given me some trouble because of its tendency to turn purplish if not watched; since Jane has seen me at work on this portrait often, she may have picked this up, although I haven’t mentioned it to her. I did explain to her before the session my dislike of too brown a cast to features—this was one of the points we discussed, as mentioned earlier.
