. . . Joy
I am pleased to say that my connection to art began in joy. As an adult I had a series of dreams that called me to paint. When I responded to this call, I had no expectation other than pure expression, very much like the child I once was, my small fingers holding on to chalk, crayons, finger-paints and clay. My brushes, pots of acrylic paint and canvas became my new field of delight.
I believe that where pure, inexpressible joy exists in our lives we can find a key into the heart of our deepest desire and life purpose. The journey into art brings me a meaty joy offering up a complex matrix of destiny in and beyond this life . . . That intense joy is compounded by an abiding delight lingering long beyond the creation of a painting. Today, I look at “Almost Candy” and still have only smiles.
