Here is my latest oil painting “The Question of Life”. The painting was inspired from notes in
my sketchbook. Every artist has a story to tell about his or her life. Every
person you meet or walk by on the street has their own story. The homeless on the streets the person
in front of you in line at the bank or checkout line has a story. Every friend and work colleague in your
life has a story.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a
fleeting moment. Everyone has
something to offer and share with you and you have something to
contribute. Imagine treating every
person you encounter with respect and interest. I guess the question that I was
asking myself was do we care about each other enough to really get to know each
others stories.
But the story can only be told if someone asks to hear
it. As an artist I am constantly
trying to understand the story and the thread that weaves through all of
us. I love the quote by the artist
Eugene Fromentin “Art is the expression of the invisible by means of the
visible”. When applied to an artist we filter expression and feelings into
imaginary worlds never seen before. It can also apply to life, that we are
invisible until someone wants to see us and ask us about our story.
