I never think of myself as an abstract painter...

This is the 2nd award I have won this year with an abstract painting. I am really excited about this, although I don't think of myself as an abstract painter. I suppose because I do this type of art mostly for fun. This one "Lava Flow" won a 2nd place for me at the Swedish Fine Art Festival in Kingsburg. You can go to the gallery and see it there (as well as all the other fabulous art!). The gallery is open from 11:00 -- 3:00 M--S. The…

Anguished Artist

The life of an anguished artist...

No sleep.

Much grief...

So little relief.

Sleepless nights....

The life we live...

So sorted and frail,

So passive, yet for sale...

Call the moon to come...

Play with me.

Lay with me....

Awake all night...

I dread the day.

The life of an anguished artist.

Who will care?

Is it fair?

The rags we wear...

Colors in our…

Still Young

still young

though mature

yet childlike

unsure

so quiet

no room

relentless

and angry

forgiving

so used

preachers

teachers

the lawyers

the law

the druggy calls

the drunk

me

spunk

don't leave me

I cried

no sleep

just refuge

though nothing is foreign

clothes torn

my soul worn

the light must stay on

the monsters

and demons

stay closely

and intense

To Be an Artist...dedicated to Brent Brooks...my dear friend. RIP

to be an artist

to live

to dream

to feel

the extreme

to be an artist

to hurt

to cry

to be the outcast

wondering why

to be an aritst

is it a curse

a heart wrenching

yet wonderful curse

to be an artist

to sell your soul

on

canvas and paper

clay and beyond

to be an artist

is it wrong

is it wrong to be an artist

you must open up in seclusion

for all to see

express your… Continue

I AM HUNGRY

FOOD IS MEDICINE TO OUR LIVES. WE NEED TO EAT TO LIVE. DID YOU KNOW THAT HUNGER REMAINS A PROBLEM RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY. THERE IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN WEST FRESNO THAT FEEDS MANY HUNGRY BEINGS EVERY DAY. IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THE POVERELLO HOUSE, YOU COULD EXPERIENCE A LUNCH, VOLUNTEER TO FEED THE HUNGRY OR JUST FELLOWSHIP. THE POVERELLO HOUSE IS A WONDERFUL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT CARES.…

Are we, too, forgetting their faces ¿?

" Sometimes our light goes out,

but is blown again into flame

by an encounter with another human being.

Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light."

I LOVE FRESNOARTS.net

This site has been a very important part of my life for the last two years. It has taken me on a series of adventures and brought me peace, sacrifice and creativity. I will forever be grateful to this. I learned about this site because of two members, one has since passed, but his legacy lives on.
Artists need an outlet, one that does not judge.
Artists are unique human beings. We can not move forward without release, so thank you Victor, your vision for this site was incredible.
