My Life in Art
What makes up the painting of my life? The painters have been many and varied.
It started with the background color laid down by those who came long before me.
Outlines were drawn in by my parents. Bright colors were added by good friends and family in strokes broad and delicate.
Shadows and dark areas came from others.
To discomfort, sadness, loss, gain joy, and beauty I owe depth and texture.
Some came along and added stunning contrasts, others soothing neutral tones.
A Larger Hand seemed to have provided the overall composition.
I am not a passive canvas, but an active participant in this my life. At times I have been able to take a heavy dark line and transform it into a lighter, more balanced detail and other times have unnecessarily darkened a detail.
This work in progress has been made possible by many who have contributed in ways large and small. I thank them all.
