We Are walkin talkin art!

Art is a prompt, a point of inspiration for another and on down the line. Art is a prompt to make us want to live more fully... to reach higher and dream bigger each day! That, is most certainly a large part of... The Meaning of Art!

The Wind or a weather vane?

Expressions from the depth your soul all come bounding forth! What allows some folks the strength to openly share their art while others live crippled by fear and apprehension. As one that has no problem "puttin' it out there" I find great exhilaration and joy in living as an exhibitionist. There is even a drive, a passion, as if my life depended upon it, like needing my next breath! I believe that drive is a gift by design. Not that it makes me better or more important than those who are not so driven but more that I need to be responsible in utilizing my gifts. Art for me, among other things, is a form of communication. I want my artistic voice to be heard! mmm but to Listen or View the work of another, that too is a gift. So we all play our part. We interact in a continual learning environment. Honesty seems an important key element in this process. By this I mean an inner honesty to know who you are and a desire to continually learn who you are becoming. Just as a canvas with a few marks on it evolves into our vision we too need to evolve as human works of art. I have a series called The Wind series. Long story short, it's all about me deciding to be The Wind and not the weather vane! So what is it that moves you? Are you moved by fear or by a Powerful, Indescribable, Positive Force?

Christmas Eve 2010

Art is a little bit of life given as a gift. Emotions poured out from the soul for all to behold. The gift of life, the gift of love, the gift of sanity from heaven above.
May each of you find the gift you need ... may you be empowered to receive.. to embrace.. to acknowledge... you are loved.

Clarification

Define who you are! Make every effort to educate others on what you and your art are all about. Do all you can to clarify your message. You and your art are unique on the entire planet! Act like it.. live like it.. speak like it! Let everyone know (in a kind respectful way) that YOU and YOUR ART are Special! Do not allow the words or actions of others to define you. No! Speak Out! Speak Up! Be Bold! Be Nice.. but Be Bold! Have courage to advance your Cause, your Dreams, your Name! Get it out there every way possible. It's Your Life, Your Destiny! Your Future! Press Forward in Power and Authority... for Your Good Name and the Glory of God! (Gal. 6:14)

Exercise

Our hearts continue to pump, hair and nails keep on growing, we blink, breathe and sweat all without our conscious input but we must choose to exercise, decide to stay healthy and fit. Inspiration seems to be the issue. That's where the stimulation art provides comes in like a flood! You've heard the term "Art Work" well, the operative word is Work! My approach to the creative process it extremely demanding, I work ten - twelve hours a day seven days a week, so being in strong physical condition is of utmost importance or i simply won't have the stamina to Make More Art! Not only do I need to be at the top of my game emotionally and psychologically but healthy in every way. soooo ... Excuse me ... but I have to go work out now! (wink)
