šDetails from one of my first studio paintings "The City" This painting started July 10th 2016 while camping in the woods. I had just enough service to check the status of the presidential election and it seemed Bernie Sanders would no longer be running for president.. A signal went off in my brain and I couldn't describe how disgusting the city made me feel at that instant being a part of this toxic waste of a society.. Breathing in nasty air that pollutes the rain falling down on this wretched place.. I had to escape!!! Of course I was not a painter full-time until October last year. So this painting sat in storage from 7/10-10/23/16 when I finally rented my first art studio with boulder creative collective and finished the vision that I created in my head many months before.. During the completion I realized that cold war Russia scares during the election had heavily influenced what I was creating. The mountains are shaped like stealth bomber jets and the sun is an explosion š„ if you can see little trails coming up from the bottom of the painting there are dots representing people running from the city into the mountains... I can only express how much pain and emotion I felt during the creation of this piece. It means a lot to me no matter how ugly it looks... The real question is whether that energy became my mechanism to help drive me and what I do on a daily basis. Let it help be an aid to your creation skills and remember your roots as an artist... #rockymountains #art #city #future #mind #freedom #expression #sight #feelings #love #heart #timing #patience #gettingready #see
