Collaborative Painting with Emerging Artists

Time to focus and to figure out what my next project will be. I have a tendency to meander and become mired in too many competing ideas. Perhaps that is creativity but at times it does feel a little unsettling. Recently, I have become a music volunteer for a local community center. That has been going well and has been a great source of satisfaction.

Still thinking about themes for upcoming summer art projects but with our recent 10 degree below zero weather, I fear that is yet some time away. I posted the photo from the Post Gazette from this past summer for inspiration and hope.

If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly, like a millionaire intent on going broke!

Over time I've learned not to fight a lot of things, including what my art looks like. Today, it comes from my soul and I allow it only to be source of joy. It has become one of my essential ingredients for happiness.

While my paintings are escapism, the real world reminds me daily of the work we have yet to do and the purpose that we serve. “To whom much is given, much is expected.” - Luke 12: 48

"Had lots of fun being a quirky artiste for a day! There was a cool band that played some great classic rock tunes. The temperature was well into the nineties. I loved basking in the sunshine. If you enjoy talking about art, this is a really easy way of meeting interesting people."
