BACK WHERE I STARTED
Tomorrow is the last day. Card number 366 will be the end. The end of daily cards but not the end of my painting ACEO's. I've really enjoyed painting these little ones.
I started this journey with the hopes of bringing in some money. It has a little, it takes a lot of these little sales to add up though. It ended up being something entirely different. After starting this journey with the tale of The Abnormals, it turned when I had to cancel cable. I started getting up every morning and reading the news on the CNN site. You really get more out of it reading than hearing, I think. I repeatedly found myself sickened at the horrors around the world. What can someone do to change those things or help? I guess my way was to be vocal about it. And I have been very vocal about those issues. I'm sure to the disgust of many.
I've also found it funny, sad and sickening to watch our political system, our leaders, do absolutely nothing. Each side always blaming the other and nothing getting accomplished. USA a World Leader? The mighty always fall. History demands it.
I have felt so much freedom doing these though. The body of work doesn't have be cohesive like it needs to be for shows. It has taken me in a new direction with many of my major pieces. I've become very vocal over the last year on political and social issues. This direction in painting probably has more of my emotions put into each piece than might have been the case in the past. These works can be found at http://paseooriginals.com/ which is the gallery that represents me.
Where do I go next? Back where I started, looking for direction, I guess. It's different now though, my mom died this year. That really has knocked the wind out of me. Every day was with her as the priority. What's next? I don't know yet............
