My Life.

Stare, paint, stare, paint, cry, paint, paint, nap, paint, watch sunset. Below are all works in progress.

 

Handmade signs of encouragement on the wall:

- YOU CONTROL WHETHER OR NOT IT IS EXCITING
- embrace your tendencies
- MAKE YOUR BEST WORK TODAY*
- DONT BE A BITCH. JUST DO YOUR SHIT.

I have a fluctuating way with words.

*Advice given to Emily by a visiting artist. It stuck with her, and now it's stuck with me.

some more potential comments for your wall:

"who, or what, am i? a conduit for a great series of verbs"
"i don't hold the brush. the brush holds me."
"the tao that can be told is not the eternal tao."
"why do i cry? because of the soft weight of great joy."
"the sun rises. i paint. the sun sets."
"i swim within the bright parentheses of a lovely sea"
"the rocks paint themselves. sometimes i get in the way."

Your paintings are playful and also well composed. love the way you play with shapes.It's sort of like listening to music in that everything works and plays together nicely.
