Memory Day

Creating Art is so therapeutic! With Memorial Day rolling around once again reminds me just how much that therapy is needed! I only spent four years in the Air Force during the Vietnam era but it changed my entire life. Never been quite the same since. But compared to many of my Brothers I got off easy. Still, living with the emotional and spiritual scares has greatly impacted my life. So, Thank God for ART! Helps me release feelings in a constructive way. I'm so driven to create art, I work at least ten - twelve hours every day. Sometimes in tears and others in laughter but always in a state of gratitude that I possess sight, hands, legs and even stamina enough to function as an artist. So many of my friends didn't make it back physically whole or mentally and emotionally strong enough to even function in society. I think it's a good thing on Memorial Day to celebrate Life instead of death! May God have mercy on us all!
Now... I gotta go Make More Art!!!
