Someone once asked me if I like the art that I create, and I answered that yes, I do like it. Their reaction made me believe that I should have said otherwise, or played my answer off like I was ashamed, or could do better, or anything more humble than a simple yes. The next time someone asked me if I liked the art that I created, I hesitated, and they caught that hesitation and took it as uncertainty in my craft, and I again felt jilted in my own connection to my work.
The next time I was asked, I was ready to answer. I thought long and hard about why I so quickly said yes the first time, and why that might not be entirely true. I thought about images that I most certainly do not connect with visually from my portfolio. I thought about images that failed. I thought about images long put in the trashcan and permanently deleted. And then I smiled.
I could not say that I didn't like those pictures because I do like them. I love them. I love all of what I do. And I don't love it because of what it looks like. Visual artists are expected to speak about their art visually. What I am drawn to is the imagination. My mind has cultivated hundreds and thousands of worlds that keep me enamored and make me feel whole. My imagination is the source of my power, it is the lifeline that speaks to my soul.
I love what I do because I love my imagination. I love my art because it is an extension of that mind-scape. It is the inside out - the world within, without. It is all of me poured into this tangible form that excites me even when it doesn't work out, or when the trashcan gobbles it up and I'm left with the remembrance of an idea in my mind. There is a certain pride, and love, that comes from creating your truest dreams. There is a confidence that tells you yes, you can love your art, because your art is an extension of yourself.
We are all alone in a town of dreams. It is our world internal. And I think we should love it.

These grown in a parking strip where I park 3 to 4 times a week, am fascinated by the leaves.
Early summer they get blotches, and with warmth and sun new growth. I don't know what the plant is.
I'm heading back to try some more angles =:-]

A gift of a hand-made ornament on our Christmas tree. The ornament, made by my sister, Judy, features a photo of my wife as a 5yr-old with dolls at Christmas.
"Simple Gifts"
(Shaker song written and composed in 1848, generally attributed to Joseph Brackett)
"Tis' the gift to be simple tis' the gift to be free tis' the gift to come down where you ought to be and when we find ourselves in the place just right T'will be in the valley of love and delight
When true simplicity is gained to bow and to bend we chant be ashamed to turn, turn will be our delight til by turning, turning we come 'round right
Tis' the gift to be simple tis' the gift to be free tis' the gift to come down where you ought to be and when we find ourselves in the place just right t'will be in the valley of love and delight"
