Today I had to deal with some outside issues, that kept me from painting. But looking to make some gains this evening after listening to a great uplifting sermon /testimony by U.S. Senate Chaplain Dr. Barry Black and Gospel singer and Pastor Wintley Phipps. You can find it on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tGbvfVpPGg I think artists need to draw on inspiration and a positive outlook when creating art , even if the art is in response to a negative action. I think thats why so many artists listen to music, but as I have grown older I find it really makes a difference regarding the things we listen to especially for artists , who deal with struggles and anxieties related to career, self perception, and relationships that most people can't quite grasp. So for today I just thought I'd post a funny picture related more to yesterdays blog. Mahallo!
