It's been a long time since I've written anything. Feel rusty. So, I guess what I will write about briefly is where I am at in my life. Some of you know already I have a studio apartment which overlooks the river here in "uptown" Niles. Some of you have seen what it looks like and already they say, "It's you." ...yes, it definitely is. Each room I and my friends have painted different colors to reflect and evoke a particular mood. The living room, as small as it may be is in hues of green to reflect tranquilty and a feeling of nature. The bedroom we painted in muted tones of mauve to help with sleep (and boy do I need a good night's rest)! The kitchen is small, so we painted everything brilliant white to help it appear larger, but also to enhance the colors of fruits and vegetables that are in the hanging baskets. Last, the most important room, my Studio. We detailed it in colors of pale peach and maize. These colors help my Art (which now adorn the walls) stand out and give people an opportunity to see each piece individually. Funny, those same pieces adorned the walls of my former home, yet now it would seem people are seeing them for the first time.
I love my place above the view of the river, so tranquil and inspiring. I cannot wait until I am completely settled to begin my new projects and to finish some old. The movement inside my mind is becoming restless, I haven't felt this way in many, many years. It is time for me to create. I see now that what has happened in my recent past has been either for the good of all, or maybe, as my oldest son Seth said, "Karma". He may be right. I needed that four way stop sign to be placed in front of me and was forced to choose a direction. The upside is I know the direction I am taking. It is the continuation of my life, the catalyst for my Being, the opportunity to prove to myself the Artist I really am! That's hard to swallow, but I am a good Artist, a "damned good" Artist! I can f... up most things, but my Art, well, it's my Story, my Life replicated in form, shape and colour for all to see, critique and feel.
So, for now, until I can get Internet, there will be these short interludes between the "Chronological History of the Artist." Goodbye and never be indecisive at that "crossroads".
