Art is a funny thing. It has the power to set off a myriad of emotions. It can inspire, it can sadden, it can anger.....My life would be incomplete without art. I simply cannot live in a space without engaging pictures or paintings hung on the wall. I get agitated and very short without art's influence. Its presence in my life directly affects my health and well being. It makes me a better person in some ways. It makes me think. I do not pretend to understand all the meanings of some works, but I know what I like and why I like it. That's what's really important.
The biggest thing for me though is the unending creativity and vision of our minds. I sometimes will stare in wonder how a painting was thought of and executed, never mind the great skill and time it takes to hone ones art to create subject matter that speaks. I am in awe of artists and how their minds work.
One such artist is my friend Randal Roberts. In his short venture into the world of art he has produced some of my favorite works. I have known him for nearly six years now. He is a very close friend, teacher, co-worker and sometimes pain in my ass. I love him dearly. Please visit his website and blog and check out his work.
