Nature, Nurture, Heaven and Home…

… Sum of all and by them driven.
To conquer every mountain shown,
But I’ve never crossed the river…”

Well, I have a new year’s resolution. Well, I have a few, but one in particular that deals with the work I make. I resolve to abandon politics in my art for a year. Yup. This past year, my focus has been almost exclusively political in notion. I feel like when I first started painting and drawing, however flawed in technique, my work had a visceral sincerity and an unintentional spirituality that seeped it’s way onto the canvas. This is what I am trying to get back. This is where I feel that my purest work comes from. So things are going to look a little different. Well they may not, maybe I’ll be the only one who notices the change in direction. But things are going to change a little bit. I’m going for a little trip to try and find that spiritual center. The funny part is that for an artist, you get to document and materialize your spiritual journey.So let me know what you think and keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks. This is going to flow like water

“It’ll take a lot more that words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we’ll cross the river…”
