pat put this painting up on flickr. i had forgotten about it. i did it back when he and my sons were all busy playing a type of metal music. it was really something exciting to have all the musicians about playing.

Practicing Art

The late Kurt Vonnegut wrote, "Practicing an art, no matter how well, is a way to make your soul grow."

I include music as an art.
Someone else said "art is something that comes out of refining the creative process and making a more finished type thing." i would call that 'professional' art, the kind one makes a living at!

the 'process of art' tho' is a healing journey. a purposeful one,

anyone can make a life a healing journey, tho' not everyone may have the clarity of mind to choose a life as that.

I know more of who i am because i have a chosen a life of art and a life of purpose.
