and now...

This painting came from my thoughts the day my friends Hope and Zach left. It truly was great having them here, It was refreshing but also challenging. I felt after they left that I could move in two directions. One that was looking forward to the future, which could keep me from truly being here and now. Or I could praise God for the time we had and continue to live in the now. That's a pretty simple explanantion of real conflict I still struggle with. The idea of moving in a positive direction or a negative direction. I think this painting could somehow be a guide to most of lifes situations, that when something happens to you, your faced with the "and now.."

God my God

THis painting was inspired by a lyric in a Manchester Orchestra song, "God my God where have you been ?" I was originally going to write those words on each of the lines, but I haven't yet, so we'll see. Anyone have an opinion?

1 + 1 = baby

I did this same painting once before with different colors, I didn't really like it, so I tried these colors. I still dont really like it. I'll probably try it again. I just really like the idea of two people (colors) coming together to make a new person who is an equal part of both people.
