Poem + painting 04

Just because you are beautiful does not mean that you won’t find rejection.
Just because you are talented does not mean that you will not be rejected.
Embrace rejection as the discovery; a new brick has been found to build your palace of success and achievement.
Live an examined life, and yours will be the golden existence.

Poem plus painting 02

Giving time to others is a part of forgiveness.
Forgiveness is to move on from hurt and failures that have occurred.

Is it truly possible to forgive, but not forget?
Instinct dictates that these two concepts are inextricably linked.
One cannot be without the other.

In the strictest terms, once forgiveness is granted, things should return to normal.
As normal as the situation was, prior to the “default”.
But I ask in earnest….
WHO DOES THAT?

Abstract Painting with poem

I saw something the other night
It was sitting in my chair.
Several feet away from the hearth,
I swore that there was nothing there.

A figure, like a body.
A person without a face.
A drawn expression of fear,
from out my heart did race.

I could not move when first sight was made.
I could not change my place.
There the figure sat, unmoved.
Terrifying my inner space.

I created a series during the summer of 2025 that explores landscape scenes.

I have continued to use acrylic pouring techniques to achieve a blending of colours. I have also used layering techniques to ensure clear separations where needed. This upcoming series will feature many abstract landscapes in my signature style. I hope you will enjoy it.
