Retirement

This painting is about simplicity. Both the way it was painted, with simple knife and brush strokes, and the message, which reflects my desire for an uncomplicated slide into old age.
The irony remains in the years I have spent pushing myself so hard to achieve my dreams, when all I want now is alone time, warmth, and an uncomplicated schedule of late breakfasts followed by early cocktails.

Cheers to Retirement

Polute the Yellow Brick Road

This is a piece I love dearly. My intention was never to make an environmental statement, far from it. It is intended to point out how us humans consistently strive for more as - the perfect car, home, life, etc. yet we are never satiated when we finally arrive at that place. So the trip continues.
It's a trip of pain and sadness since we can never reach the end and can only add to our growing list of desires and wishes.
Some say this is the human spirit and drives all of our innovations. Others see the sadness and incomplete nature of our emotional condition.
Follow your dreams, but have a look out the side window at the garbage piling up along the way.

Kicking and Screaming

Technology and I do not get along!

I am an painter and a writer, with an artistic soul and a well hidden emotional side that most who know my alter ego - corporate President - would never guess or suspect, or even want to associate.

So why a Blog?

I need an outlet, that most who blog or twitter seem to have found. Painting and writing is a fantastic emotional outlet, but on occasion, nothing beats a good political rant - posted for all to see. Though why anyone would care, is a mystery!

Since western society is obsessed with the narcissistic need to inform facebookers of their every mundane move, why can't I drop a comment or two about the futility and absurdity of it all?

So I plan to use this space to show some paintings, write a few lines of dribble, or just rant about the World, Politics, Business, Music, or anything else that pops into this 40ish brain. Running a business is stressful, with hundreds of lives depending on your decisions - I trust running a blog will be a little less taxing.

Let's see where this goes.





Cheers!
