Hello All,
OK, I shortened this from the advice on the phone call. I put it in the “first” person too. I put a quote from a song at the end….should I lose this? Or keep it?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments.
My art is about escaping to a place or time where you felt like a kid, you felt safe, you still dreamed, laughed, you weren’t working every day and paying bills, life was fun, playful, filled with curious wonders, and you were still able to close your eyes and imagine you were on some crazy wild adventure.
I am influenced by artists such as Henry Matisse, Salvador Dali, and Vincent Van Gogh. My style is kind of like if Surrealism and Impressionism went on a date and had a little too much wine to drink, my artwork would be the result of this wonderful encounter.
Remember to keep pursuing your dreams because life is too short.
“There’s no time to lose I heard her say,
Catch your dreams before they slip away.”
Dying all the time,
Lose your dreams,
And you will lose your mind.”
- Rolling Stones, Ruby Tuesday
