Angels and Men

This is a canvas I've prepared for the Arts, literally show coming up at Cranbrook. It's a neat concept to use text in a painting, or write about a painting or any permutation that combines text and art. I do like the look of layers of text, rather grafitti-like.

It is based on a song by Lhasa de Sela, one of my favorite singers. YOu can listen if you google Lhasa anywhere on this road.

Setting Her Boundaries

I like the idea of experimenting with texture and text. I have had trouble in the past setting boundaries, trying to be a people pleaser so that people would like me. I finally figured out that about half the people will like me and the other half won't no matter what I do (outside of going berserk and decimating part of the population). So, now I try to please myself and care less what people think. Sometimes I just need to circle the wagons and keep everyone a little apart.
