Obstacles

Over the past few days I thought a lot about why I create art and why I don't create art.  Do I really have something to say or am I just creating pretty pictures.

I let obstacles get in my way because I am not confident of what I want my art to say.

There are probably others besides myself that have something they want to do but they let other things get in the way.  We throw our hands up and claim that we can't.  We have do this other thing first.  Once that is done something else demands our attention and before we know it the day is done and we are no closer to our goal.

I hate dirty dishes.

I hate the fact that dirty dishes often keep me from creating art.

This is the beginning of a still life of dirty dishes.

Love your enemies.
