A Refuge
A friend and I were talking about the value of painting and sometimes I question that value but he said, for him painting can be a refuge. I never thought of it that way before, a refuge from what troubles you and from the unsolvable problems of the world and community. I liked this idea as it shifts the purpose of painting from that of producing a result to one of inner peace.

ART CAN BE A HEALING PROCESS,A FORM OF RELAXATION OR A JOURNEY OF SELF DISCOVERY. I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE ALL OF THE ABOVE,
FOR WITHOUT IT THERE WOULD NOT BE THE FREEDOM OF SELF EXPRESSION NOR WOULD THERE BE THE SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT IS ACHIEVED FROM OBSERVING AND RECREATING NATURES SCENERY ON CANVAS.
ART IS PEACE, PEACE IS ART....
