My first piece in a series which has a tentative title of “Layers”. It follows a bit on my previous body of work, Changes, which dealt with an abstract view of our lives has they go from dreams, goals to reality. This series in a way will deal more with how we are, beings of multiple layers, with good, bad, happiness and sadness. As we explore our lives paths with acquire different experiences, which mold us into our present selves. I hope to do it justice.
Changes XX, Last Painting of the Series. In Progress.
Calmness in the Process
There are certain moments in my life that provide me with an exceptional time to create. It might seem strange to some to hear that I was up until 3:00 a.m. working on a piece. But after raising a family, providing for them, instructing them, and most importantly making sure that their spiritual needs were met, I found myself looking for any time along that could be used to create. So through out the years, 31 years of marriage and counting, I learned that the 10:00pm to the wee hours of the night/morning provided the best time for my creative juices to work. It was in these late times that I was able to find Calmness in the Process. It was in these times when the air was still, the background noise ceased and I could then focus on creating. This latest piece Changes XVIII: Winter’s Glow, is almost finished. After I filmed this short video last night I continued to add to it, and now I’m very close to being done both with this piece and the Series Changes. Where am I going next? Not sure, a few things are in mind, but no commitment yet on any.
