I created a piece to enter an art show claiming to be “an out-of-this-world exhibit.”

Unfortunately, my work was not selected for the Ford Gallery’s group show, May the Force Be with You. That’s ok that’s not the total purpose. We need a simple idea all people that, within one month, will be suffering from vocation, housing, food, and financial loss, can come together. If not this idea, think of another.

Today, we need to do what we can, but what can I do? Do what I do best – create the TOOLS for others to use to spread an idea. If: you can move or share a groove, you can teach or preach, you can settle or give a metal, you can share or be aware, you can feel or reveal, you can defend or be a friend, you can heal or appeal, you can act or share a fact, and finally, if you can write share truth. FEEL BETTER – TOGETHER. Please share.

Well, I did not get an award, but I am very happy with my painting. The gallery put me in the “Rose City Reunion” category online, and to me, that was the whole point of the show. I looked into my heart and painted what I hold dear about this city, there are parks and special touches everywhere and they have been here for a long time.
