Gray Morning

I didn't blog yesterday as I got caught up with work. I'm away from home for a week. It will be strange not painting. I was able to finish one of the Jerome Caja inspired pieces on Sunday. I'm hoping to have the other 2 pieces finished by the end of next week. I will post them as soon as they are done.

As I took the train early yesterday morning, it was a gray cloudy day. I started thinking about the darkness of my high school years. I was the 'Ally Sheedy' from The Breakfast Club. Funny how life has changed. I thought about the darkness of my artwork. Though I didn't consider myself an artist at the time, my work was very dark.

The piece to the left is a 3-set piece titled A Roar in the Forest. It is a reflection of my journey as an artist. The gray forest is those early years. The green forest is my colorful period during my early twenties when I was imitating the childlike figures and colors of Keith Haring. The red forest is my present. It reflects the great passion for my Little Girls.

Interesting how all this came from seeing the gray morning while riding a train. I am always fascinated by how our brain works.

It's a beautiful sunny day today. Though I am inside an office, I will feel the energy of the sunshine and remember how life is constantly changing.

Cheers!!
