13:03:45 robert too much blue. but nice angel.
turn around and wave to the ruano family
13:04:45 Mario Robert, I don't think he sees
what we are typing
13:05:15 robert my dad says the angel's face is
fuzzy. my brother says you need more red in the picture
13:05:59 robert he does. his cousin tells is at
the pc and tells him what people write
13:07:45 willy NICE ARTWORK. HOWEVER, IN
PREVIOES SESSIONS, I FORGOT ABOUT A KEY CONCEPT. LOVE IS LIFE, ALTHOUGH, IT MAY BE AS HARD
TO CAPTURE A VISUAL OF LIFE AS IT IS LOVE.
13:07:53 Mario Xavier, you are not supposed to
take breaks if we are watching you.
13:07:58 webstudio We're here.
13:08:12 webstudio Welcome to the WebStudio.
13:08:30 robert good point mario. he probably
went to the bathroom
13:09:32 Mario Perhaps, but for your latter
point, I don't think that character is an angel
13:09:33 willy So, webstudio boys, what are we
talking about today, other than critiquing the colorscheme of your canvas?
13:10:02 robert wave to the camera cubaba.
13:10:48 webstudio Robert: Xavier agrees with
your brother (about the red). "The first thing I thought of was red is a color of
passion. but the people who came
here the first two days were talking about another kind of love, that of family. So
that influenced the painting -- made it 'cool' instead of 'hot'.:
13:11:06 webstudio "I'm happily adding red
by his request."
13:11:54 webstudio Willy: Xavier would like you
to elaborate on your life comment.
13:12:07 willy I get the impression that I may
know you, Robert and Mario. Would you be Ruano and Yanez, respectively?
13:12:50 Mario That's right, how do you know?
13:13:05 webstudio "Today we are
completing this canvas, sensitive to the fact that most of the surface area is filled.
We'll start on a new piece tomorrow and I promise to paint it red."
13:14:02 webstudio "This painting is
focusing on love of family because that's how the first participants drove the
composition."
13:14:28 willy Because I know all. I am Willy
Chirino, aka Uncle Willy.
13:14:55 webstudio "The big feather comes
from a quote by Emily Dickinson: 'Love is a thing with feathers.' That led to a whole
aviary discussion."
13:15:53 webstudio "The central piece in
the painting is from something that Mel said: her son is the best thing her husband and
her had created."
13:16:32 willy To respond to X's request, zLove
is Life. It is yhe cenerpiece of all existence, once you discover it. It is a compass to
guide your every move.
13:16:56 webstudio "Yesturday we discussed
love been a kernel of corn. Love is food, a seed, immediate use as well as
potential."
13:18:09 webstudio "Should I represent
that with a compass, Willy? How literal do you want me to be? Do you want a compass with a
heart in the middle? Or can we find another way of depicting life's navigation?"
13:19:18 Mario Is that you Willard?
13:19:48 willy Well, if you want to develop a
nautical theme, you could use a sextant, a Columbus-type mariner, on the sea at night. I
think I like your idea better.
13:20:21 willy Yes, Mario, you are correct. I
am longwinded, as usual.
13:21:22 Mario I am talking to Ruano on his
Cel, he had to bail, but sends his regards
13:21:28 webstudio "That shape thing at
the bottom right kind of looks like part of a compass, no?
13:21:50 webstudio "Perhaps I'll put a
South and an East symbol there."
13:23:06 Mario X, is there a breast in the
painting, because breast is nutrition to familial love.
13:23:20 willy Go for it. I think it ties in
nicely, and it would help 'flesh out' that portion of the canvas layout.
13:24:41 webstudio Xavier responds, "Yes
Mario, that's exactly why that's there. The breast does not approximate erotic by anyone's
standard."
13:24:42 willy Mario. at one point a breast was
mentioned as a symbol of life. I believe the funky looking circular shape toward the top
left is a breast. Am I right,
X?
13:25:46 willy Actually, X, you could put a
nipple ring in the breast (ha ha).
13:26:14 webstudio "That's very
insightful, Willy. The reason why I intuitively doodled in the lower-right hand corner is
to compensate and balance the painting."
13:26:19 Mario I second that, makes it more
modern.
13:28:29 Mario I got to go. I'll rejoin you
guys later. I am glad we can share in your work. Take care Willy - hope all is well. By
the way X, Sara and I are parents in case you had not heard.
13:29:40 webstudio "Willy, the orangish
circle at the top-rightish might look like a nipple but it's actually a sun."
13:29:41 willy OK, let's talk about something
philosophical here. Why did you select the color scheme you chose, X? I would have
intuitively gone with more reds and oranges, since love to me is a 'warm' topic. Unless
you are talking about love in the religious sense, like God's love for his children.
13:30:04 LEAVE Mario has left.
13:30:37 webstudio "Congradulations,
Mario. Was it a boy or a girl?"
13:30:51 willy In that case, since it is
'divine love', it should be cool, blue, insightful, considering.
13:31:24 willy Robert, are you still there?
Mario mentioned that you had to move on.
13:32:58 webstudio Willy: "The reason I
picked the cooler colors is because the conversations we've engaged in had a more familial
tone, and in a way I'm sure floated into the subconscious, I linked familial love to
something that's cool, refreshing, and peaceful."
13:33:21 webstudio "Whereas passionate
love is 'hotter'."
13:35:01 willy Makes perfect sense to me. Will
you be doing a companion piece on more passionate/erotic/sexual love?
13:36:42 webstudio "Tune in tomorrow at 1
p.m. Eastern, Willie, for the companion, more 'red' companion painting."

evolution of the WebStudio, oh master of Internet Art?

inviting school kids to participate."

13:52:35 webstudio "Mario: is it a boy or

13:53:02 Mario It's a girl, Uma
13:53:39 Mario You both must come visit.
13:54:02 webstudio "Congradulations,
Mario. This painting was inspired by Willard's boy, Jacob. (Willard being Willy, who was
online.)"
13:55:45 Mario Cool, I had no idea, how
wonderful having a child could be.
14:00:15 Mario This piece is very timely. I
have recently fallen in love myself so I can relate. But I feel alot more yellows and
oranges would be appropriate to convey warmth.
14:01:46 webstudio "Are those the colors
you would convey for the love of your child, as opposed to your love of Sara?"

14:02:51 webstudio Welcome to the WebStudio,
Barbara.
14:03:44 webstudio "Mario: orange here we
come. I'm very happy that paternal, family love can glow in orange."
14:04:38 Mario I am glad I could be of
assistance.
14:05:21 webstudio "Are you seeing me
paint the sunshine gold?"
14:05:53 Mario Yes, I am touched
14:06:44 Mario Actually, I think it works quite
well
14:08:22 LEAVE Barbara-Andress has left.
14:09:01 Mario Boy, she must have been the
quite type
14:10:09 webstudio "Is there anything else
you would add or change about our painting?"
14:10:27 webstudio "We'll be finishing it
up today."
14:12:38 Mario I've enjoyed this. I will try to
make it a habit. Just one thing before I go: No body is touching. I don't know if it's to
late to appeal to the sense of
touch.
14:13:28 schmoop1 I'm back.
14:13:35 webstudio "Who should be touching
who? Phenomenal point, Mario."
14:14:06 webstudio "Welcome back,
schmoop."
14:14:51 Mario I'm not quite sure maybe you
could do it symbolically, or with the eyes or something
14:15:50 webstudio "The couple on the left
are actually reaching out and touching an object at the center of the painting, which is a
stylized kernel of corn (see logs of previous sessions for the corn deal)."
14:16:18 webstudio "That text inside the
kernel talks about spiritual love, and the love that a parent has for his child."
14:16:37 Mario I know tie the two people
together with a delicate string or something.
14:17:20 webstudio "And they are reaching
towards, and even uplifting, that concept. But you do have a point in that perhaps they
should be touching the child, and not the theoretical construct."
14:18:11 Mario Perhaps they are caught between
the concept, the ideal and reality, the flesh
14:18:15 webstudio "The two people
(parents) are actually intwerwoven into a mass of one. You cannot tell where one begins
and one ends. I'll show you with a close-up that should appear soon."
14:19:24 Mario OOOOHHH, I see, It was hard to
make out at a distance. Thanks for the close up.
14:19:59 webstudio "They are united in
one; their love is united in one. And that love has created the child in the center."
14:20:28 webstudio "But still, do we need
a hand touching the child, or reaching toward the child?"
14:21:47 Mario I am beginning to see what you
mean...
14:23:06 webstudio "What should the child
be holding in his hand?"
14:23:14 webstudio "Any ideas?"
14:23:48 Mario A timepiece to symbolize how
fast they grow up???
14:24:20 webstudio "What exactly is a
'timepiece'?"
14:24:40 Mario A clock or something
14:24:53 Mario an hourglass perhaps
14:26:52 webstudio "Elaborate upon the
significance of the hourglass in the child's hand, please."

(170.253.220.1)
14:28:29 webstudio Hi Maria, thanks for joining
the WebStudio.
14:29:36 Mario Life is short, we don't have
much time to enjoy the ones we love. Its a delictae balance
14:29:43 LEAVE Maria-M--Yip has left.
14:30:40 webstudio "Beautiful. I'll have
him carry the hourglass."
14:30:53 Mario I also think its a reminder to
the parents to pay attention to their child as he is growing up
14:32:36 webstudio "Phenomenal idea; I
love it. The sad truth is that most of us in society do not prioritize our time correctly,
we're too concerned about providing
security for the ones we love, that we forget to provide love for the ones we
love."
14:34:18 Mario Exactly. That is my current
dilemna which I am trying to find resolution to.
14:34:50 webstudio "What steps are you
taking?"
14:36:40 Mario Well, I am trying to increase
business to the mailorder company. Also we are trying to see if at the very least Sara
doesn't have to go back to work.
14:37:43 webstudio "Let me ask you another
way: if we were to err in the other direction, and spend a lot of our time just enjoying
each other's company, but weren't building a solid future (financial and otherwise), would
at some future point we be judged for being negligent and even unloving? I'm remind of
Harry Chapin's Cat's Cradle song."
14:39:16 webstudio "It is about striking a
balance."
14:39:29 Mario I am not interested in a solid
future just a rrof over our heads. We could live under a bridge and spend a lot of time
together. But that would suck.
14:39:47 webstudio "I mean, after all,
going to work is no bed of roses. It's actually sacrificing yourself for the ones you
love."
14:40:20 webstudio "One of our life
struggles is to find that balance. And that even applies to loving oneself."
14:40:52 webstudio "How much time do we
devote to meaningless pursuits that we wind up regretting, because we were required
to?"
14:41:54 Mario I guess your right, but still
there has to be way to merge it all together. So that you can provide and still be there a
big percentage of the time.
14:42:36 webstudio "I guess it's one of
those life lessons we're all going to learn the hard way."
14:43:52 Mario Which reminds me I better get
back to chaingang. Thanks for allowing me to have some input it was very enjoyable.
14:44:51 LEAVE Mario has left.
14:44:58 webstudio "Thanks Mario. We're
back from 1 to 3 p.m. tomorrow, if you'd care to join us. Say hi to Sara and Uma."
