The trees are putting on their fall performance, and hidden behind them a prairie home - a simple place. A place where you can "be" - be yourself, think your thoughts, paint your paintings, read a book, write a book, live your life - and most of all - be happy!
That's the short and simple explaination - if you wish to "delve deeper", then read on...
Every since I began painting, I suppose that it was/is in many ways, an escape. I can get away from quite literally anything in my paintings. I can create a world as I wish it to be. And while I'm painting it, it is almost as though I live there in my painting.
I look around this "real" world we exist in, and I really don't like what I see. There are - I know - many, many really good and kind people in this world.
But the evil lurks everywhere. Have the men of this world gone collectively crazy? Have they totally lost their minds?
Yes I said MEN, and NO I'm not being sexist, I'm stating a fact. The fact is, that nearly all of the violent people are men. Sure there are isolated cases of women committing some heinous act, but it is largely and overwhelmingly men.
What's causing it? Is it some horrible genetic mutation? A virus? A vitamin deficiency? I don't know. But I do know that it's not an American problem, or a Middle Eastern problem or a South American problem - it is a worldwide problem, and it really does seem to be getting worse as time goes on.
