August 5, 1986: I'm a LEO

For some odd reason I felt the need to post my Zodiac Sign for the day and month--Heyy!? I was feeling myself...

For Wednesday, April 1 -You are holding yourself to exceptionally high standards right now -- but if you are getting frustrated with yourself for not meeting them, then you need to consider changing them. Having more modest goals will ensure that your success rate increases. And besides, don't you think that it's time you gave yourself a break? Today, picture where you want to be just three months from now -- not ten years! An easier plan will get you thinking more positively.


I guess it is what it is! Maybe planning for short term goals is the most sufficient for the moment.

Listen & Take Note


Art is a means of adventure and therapy for the mind.

Lamar Cole



I am an artist… I am here to live out loud.

Emile Zola



An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

James McNeill Whistler



The only time I feel alive is when I’m painting.

Vincent Van Gogh



Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.

Edward Hopper



Great art picks up where nature ends.

Marc Chagall



The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.

Francis Bacon



It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures

Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

Louise Nevelson



Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

Pablo Picasso



The painting has a life of its own.

Through the EYES of Self Portraits











The self-portrait can be an image of how we think we appear, how we wish we appear to others, or even a disguise. Other such images may not be so much about how we look but an attempt to sketch an emotion, or a moment of light and color. It can serve as a cathartic release, as a reminder to ourselves, an invitation to the viewer, or a way of creating a mystery. It can show us aspects of ourselves we cannot otherwise see. Perhaps we can even explain to ourselves that which we could not otherwise bear. Bravery is as much a part of self portraiture as deceit.
As Laura Kicey and my Professor Vaughn states,
A self-portrait can be achieved without the use of the photographer's face, or even a part of the body. How we present ourselves, whether it is represented with a macro of our eye or the palm of our hand, can be as revelatory about our true natures as a more formal portrait. The means we use to create a public 'face' for ourselves, and how we build upon this image to tell our story, is the real challenge of self portraiture.
