I am about to get back down to the serious business of creating new work. As I get older my priorities have changed. If given the opportunity to spend quality time with our kids and their kids or painting- I choose the kids. So we have traveled back and forth from Cincinnati to Bexley. There is something about having the opportunity to experience being surrounded by small children one more time. There is that innocence, the sharing of seeing the world for the first time through their eyes. There's experiencing all those places and things that as adults we take for granted. They have no great expectations of me- all I have to do is love them. The artist in me would like all of my viewers to be treated to visual pieces that permit them to see the world through my eyes. I hope that my "children" will bring some of you that same sense of discovery, joy and love.
Here is one of my"children".
You are truly an inspiring artist whom I have admired since my youth. I personally love your more traditional works because of your amazing ability to capture the essence of beauty out of the simple things in life. You were my mentor, though I never pursued art as a career. I wish I followed in your footsteps, or at least beside them. Thank you for making an impact on my life.
ReplyDeleteDear "Anonymous",
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your kind words. I am sure that you impacted my life too! I continue to gain more insight into who I am through interactions with all of those who have passed through my life. As I have gotten older I have become more reflective, value all people more, and have a better understanding what love is in my life. Thanks again!
