The beginning of the painting Venezia

The beginning of the painting The Cross
The Blue Cross
My creative process seems to be unique. I don’t know of many people that can write a poem or create a piece of art in one sitting. It’s almost like a creative rant. I might write six or more poems and they’ll be good, but one or two will stand out and I will create a series around those two poems. I usually write poems that are several pages long. I rarely edit anything unless it doesn’t flow well. When I was with the New Orleans poetry forum I began calling the poetry that I did, “Poetry With An Attitude.”
My paintings are all different, but I’ve noticed a brush stroke technique that continues to be seen in my paintings, along with the colors that I use. My latest paintings I worked on at the same time. They began with a sketch on a piece of paper. I then decided I’d like to see how it would look as a painting. I was not sure where it would go. I just let the paint and my mind bring the image to life. They both have a surreal effect as well as seeing an image that the viewer can see.
Once I give my work a title then I don’t expect to explain its meaning. It is up to the viewer to make their own opinion. I realized a long time ago that art is not for everyone and either you get it or you don’t.
Thanks for stopping by; do come again. Keep an open mind.
