Dreaming While Awake

First week; working on pencil sketches.

Reflection

I have been thinking about what I paint and create.

Work is very stressful, demanding and exhilarating all at once.  And yet, most of what I paint in the end is a bunch of pretty faces and doesn’t really represent what I experience internally or what I observe happening within my lifetime.  I want to be able to be free enough and creatively smart enough to connect my observations about the world in which I live with the themes/focus of what I paint in the future.  For now, another pretty girl.

Happy New Year!

Ten years after 911

It’s hard to believe ten years have passed since 911; in many ways it seems like yesterday.  May all the souls who perished on that sad day rest in peace.  I pray that all the souls who survived find a sense of peace in their lives.  Lastly, I pray that the world evolves and learns how to live in peace with one another.

Life

I am here,

but on the other side of this window is a world I could hardly have imagined

Where it’s everyone for themselves

Just listen to  the news and observe how people treat each other

Making false promises and pointing fingers

Wearing coats of grandeur embroidered with self-promotion

Where the word “love” is only a four letter word

Where pissing on dead soldiers is more abhorrent than the act of war itself

Where hypocrisy is the daily fare and superficiality is the dessert

I am here

I hear

I hear the sounds of humanity destructing

As I continue to push that rock up the hill.

Standing In Truth

I am not a teenager,not even close, but I will emphatically say I feel like one.  Mood swings, “who am I wonderings”, the cravings for sweets and feeling that most adults are nuts and shouldn’t be trusted.  Writing or creating a painting feels like a big question mark.   Why bother?  What to write or paint about and what will it teach me about me and the world in which I live and or does it even matter?  Overdosing on the media heads and politicians chasing each other’s tails about the economic future of the U.S.A.  Want to be informed, but not toyed with by agenda driven news networks.  I should stop watching the news; not productive to the quality of my life anymore.  

A friend of mine who is a chef told me master bakers have a “mother starter” that they have kept for some fifty years.   The bakers keep adding to this and that is why the bread tastes outrageous!
