Tired Of Getting Cut Down


I am like a certain species of tree. Im a plantsmon, I can use this comparison. Trees thrive from a certain amount of toughness. Wind that doesnt knock them down makes their trunk stronger. A deluge makes its roots more tenacious. Drought prevents the roots from rotting and teaches it to conserve. Winter teaches it that the sun will shine again. Summer is its reward for persevering and is a time to just be.
There comes a time however, that the most determined of trees cannot fend off trouble and hardship. If it gets burned, its skin dies. If it gets attacked by countless insects to where there is no end, it will struggle pathetically until it becomes too much. If water never comes, it will wither and die. And it will suffocate in an endless amount of tears. Yes I am talking about me. To everything, there is its limit. I have fought long and hard. Im still standing. But life is tenuous at best. If this tree that is me doesnt see some nourishment, it will also surely die.

First Big One!


Made you look! I started my first big canvas. The subject is guess what: Did you say trees? You would be right. Its gonna be in pastel blues. Dont have a name yet. Which that leads me to explain why I seem to have a name, for a piece, sometimes even before I start it. Because I believe in the power of words. When you name something, you imbue it with its own energy. It helps me create a piece as it dictates to me what it wants to be. Its magic, and it compels a person to look, study, and gain insight. This is very powerful and should be taken seriously. Parents, be careful what you name your child.

No ones seen this


Just a quick update today. Im posting here, a work that escaped being documented. Something really different. It was one of my famous experiments. Named "I Hope You Dance", for the song. I like it quite well and want to do something similar again. It was fun too. Finished a collage today entitled "What I Love". And indeed it is what I love, trees and reflections in water. Will try to get it online today or tomorrow. This isnt Myspace so, smile icon!

The Owls Cry


Strange snow falling from the sky
Trees falling as I fly by
Its not rain, its wooden snow
My homes gone, no where to go
