Christmas and all

Christmas and all

I'm constantly amazed at how the holiday season has such influence over how we think . Extraordinarily , it causes the most logical of us to look for meaning,personal reference, and even magic. People stop to receive gifts and give them too . Plans are made to congregate for the sheer purpose of enjoying the moment . We see, feel, touch, and taste. We greet each other with searching eyes and remark at the effect the light of the moment has on our faces . We mark changes and "are sedulous to take note of shadows"*

This is the way the best artworks are made . If the truth be told , art is time off to celebrate . It isn't always a party , or even always joyful , but it is a line around time , a boundary of light and sense and meaning.

It's hard painting a dream , I know this small town street its basement entrances , a lot like Mebane
