A year of paintings and studio notes concerning old age and death, time and eternity.

Fred Martin's illustrated studio notes on the process of painting and the content of a year's work with the subjects of the art world, sex, old age, loss and death

Record of a several years' long series of explorations of altered states of consciousness, with the goal of re-opening a path to the archetypal and the mythic in personal experience as a source for artistic inspiration.

The book consists of Fred Martin's 2015 Paintings and notes about them. The personal themes are life and death, coming to be and passing away. The aesthetic issues are scale (small in our time of the gargantuan), and the use of a few words as essential to the complete experience and personal understanding of the work. The paintings were never meant as "money on the wall" for expensive apartments, but rather as marks in the paths of time for the souls of those who seek.
