Fulfilled and Full
last night I did the unthinkable. . .
after giving my family first dibs, I put all of my paintings in the trunk
and under the cover of darkness I brought my friends near. . .
and I gave all of my paintings away. . .
Before I did this I was afraid that I’d regret it
but I must say,
I feel surprisingly fulfilled. . . and full
….
like Kiera here. . .
straying from simplicity via risk taking
This is one of my latest commissions. After I finished paint was everywhere!!!! ha ha I walked in the house and my little brother calmly stated. . .”Stefan, you look like you just killed someone.” Good thing he knows me well.
a rant about brick walls and entertainment systems
So I have a friend who has a beautiful brick wall in his living room, and I am mad at him. Out of jealously that he has a brick wall in his living room? Partly ha ha, but mostly because he’s COVERING IT UP WITH A BUILT IN ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM!!! Such beautiful brick could be the backdrop to many a painting . . . 😦 how sad.
You see, I’m all for modern, in fact I embrace my electronics wholeheartedly but! I feel that in todays society in an attempt to stay modern, all to often the awesomeness of vintage beauty is overlooked. Thus houses are built cheaply, cars are tin cans, we shop at Wal-mart, and brick walls are being covered up by entertainment systems. . .
ps this is not “the” brick wall, this was at an underground art show in Younstown
