| It wont stop............as much as I try to convince myself that this will never be possible for us, you already know me, and if i say anything to get the travel fever out of my system......... as you know I've been to Canada........I've also been to Dallas~Ft. Worth, Ft. Walton, Tallahassee, Pensacola, Knoxville, Memphis, various parts of western Kentucky, Ohio, Detroit, Buffalo, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Muscle Shoals, Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Shreveport and many, many swamps and backwoods backwaters............. the reason I'm working so devotedly is to gain the full benefit of my travels............ it is essential for the development of my Draftsmanship and Painting that I travel..........and not just go visit or just pass through different places, but to actually live for a time in different locales ........ the Desert Southwest..........the Pacific Northwest.........Cairo, Bangladesh, Jakarta, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Prague, Moscow, the Balkans, Brussels, Copenhagen, Rome, Paris, Chile......... international travel has the element of excitement like one sees in the movies, yes, one must do what one must do.......one must follow one's heart ............. my reason for gallivanting about the planet has nothing to do with where I hang my proverbial hat.............every time I experience different places and the different people in those different places it somehow elevates my conscious awareness and my creativity.......... there are deep emotional stirrings which linger with me long after I have departed a far off place and seen it's folk for perhaps the last time in my life ............I can't do anything about it either........it's a vital part of who I am..........it moves me, this feeling......this rapturesque sensation......... it is overwhelming.........and I need it......I need that deep emotional stirring in order to create........in order to experience the energy and the motivation to work and create I must be strongly moved emotionally.......... if I feel no inspiration, I fall into apathy, despair and laziness...........but if I can be energized by the mysterious, intriguing and enchanting excitement of other places and by the smiles of the peoples in those other places, then and only then can I get in touch with the inspiration and creativity to Draw and Paint MasterPieces ~* and I have to take photographs..........I am an avid photographer...........I have learned what a light meter is.......one must be very active in a particular field of endeavor in order to learn something like that ......... I have to do many quick sketches and I have to take many photographs......... and I have to study the Sketches, Drawings, Photographs and Paintings of others............. contemporary work is unique and very interesting.....it is of our time...... I have learned that I can learn from our time when I think about it having past and become ancient history...... I have developed a mental strategy for increasing my appreciation of the present by thinking of it as the ancient historic past.............. I have to hear music....... I have to see human beings in love ~* kissing in public and holding hands while strolling along the beach with the surf gently lapping at their ankles............... I have to experience people being in true love and enriching their lives with true romance ~* Pyramids, Taj Mahal, Notre Dame ~* you are an inspiration to me, World ~* I need you in order to create..........I need you in order to feel the magic of the motivation to work........the driving force of creative energy which flows from you is quintessential to my art..........I am at my best when you help me.........I need you in my life, World.........I need you to help me achieve the full potential of my gift ~* it is our gift, yours and mine ~* help me World.........please help me.......... be dreamers with me..........I need the energy which you share with me through your dreams..........I need you ~* I want you by my side.........I want you with me, World........I want you to travel with me and help me Draw and Sketch and Photograph and Paint and Read and Write and Learn and Grow and Create and Accomplish.........help me, World..........please help me to continue to achieve success........please help me Draw and Paint for you ~* |
