On The Bay 30x24

I don't typically like high key paintings ...but I do find it somewhat therapeutic to express my inner angst...always comes out as bright and cheery. Well, maybe I'm not one to store up too much guilt and sorrow and unfulfilled dreams, crushed hopes and frustrated and fractured fantasies. But then again, what about that time...? and how about when...? Wow, I really do have some serious issues. Well, artist or not, I think all of us, could we lie down on the proverbial couch, would be able to come up with sufficient work for even the dullest of therapists. After Painter of Light and Cowboy Singer I think my next career choice would have been that of a friendly shrink. I imagine myself sitting there doodling in a sketch book, drawing pictures of cows and trees and writing down song lyrics and as my patients describe their inner turmoils I throw out little anecdotes and platitudes that make them feel better...and prescribe a healthy dose of reading the Psalms...Truly the most cathartic thing you can do is to read (out loud if you're able) the psalms of David. Make them your prayers and you will experience a soul-cleansing like you never thought possible. And, if that doesn't work...take a couple of Vicodin.
