Life is messy. It is the reality of life that alot of people rather not admit. It is full of spills, accidents and getting lost. It is also full of miracles, joy and laughter at unexpected moments. An artist's life is messy by nature. We are free thinkers, destroyers and builders. And unfortunately, many artists are appreciated more by the works they left behind than the life they led.
Now that I am getting back to my creative nature I want to be able paint and build from my heart even at the risk of not being understood. I am very guarded and well practiced at keeping the wall in place whether it is good for me or not. This will be a big leap of faith for me. Painting pretty pictures seems easy in my mind but when I open the door to the ideas and influences I will bet it will spill out like an overpacked closet of forgotten joys, terrors and misplaced treasures at my feet. The art is finding beauty in the midst of chaos.
