This is personal

  This is personal 5:30 pm on Friday I'll be at a reception for emerging artists at the Carrollwood Cultural Center. I am honored to be included in this show.  A few things came to mind as I was driving away from the U-haul location, starting the adventure to deliver the pieces. The first one that came I've had this thought a few times on different things as the first words that often come to mind. And I don't want to get political when I say this, but sometimes it's so funny to do. So… My first thought was to quote the sitting president and say “This is a big fucking deal right here!” And I thought that thought instantly popped in like how big of a deal this is, a second thought instantly popped into my head to quote the last president and say that “It’s huge!” And then I got serious for a moment. Yeah, cuz you know, all that makes me laugh. But then I got serious for a moment and I remembered a line from the reel post that I recently made. At times I will get messages

Dad In His Chair

Image
Michael's has a sale this weekend. 70% off canvases and a bunch of other deals. I guess they don't think that dudes shop there. Jokes on them! With my first one I decided before my morning walk to paint a picture of my dad. It comes from a photo I grew up seeing. In the photo he's sitting in one of those 70s egg chairs with the speakers on the side. I actually still have the chair. In the painting I didn't put eyes on dad. That's because I never got to know what color they were. He died a year after I was born. At 43 now without children of my own I feel people on seeing this being a hallmark holiday. Truth be told they all are in some ways marketing ploys. But they are also times to reflect and give thanks for where this journey has brought each of us. Mine has me thinking I might try out another photo for a closer look at that face at some point. I did pick up some paint and canvases.... #shamanicinnovations  #blackartists #folk
