Over The Years

Over The Years...stockpiling has become one of my setbacks...I got busy with "life"...the ups and downs, moving...changes...learning. Artists must have a certain gypsy gene in them to keep creating, exploring and producing. Creating is an overwhelming desire and hunger all human beings must feed to find solace and inner peace. That sounds like a good "Beatles" line...go for it Paul and Ringo!
Reorganizing...something we should do much more often, reminds us of our past and makes us take a look at our present status. Wow, "I remember when I worked on that piece" and the memories flow back about the location, time and resources involved in creating and producing. School taught me about creating, techniques, approaches, mediums, ect...but the hard knocks in life taught me production is essential. Yet while society is trying to box us (especially our children) into labeled learning impairments...I say celebrate your gifts and ride with them. The greatest minds and contributors to society and the arts went out of the box. Continue with education your entire life...then add your spin...teach others to think out of the box.
