To Be or Not to Be..

I love this photograph. I feel it deep in my soul. I wish I had taken it. That is my dilemma this week.
I LOVE to paint. I feel free and creative and more myself than at any other time.
I paint abstracts because they convey what is lurking inside and all around us.
If I wanted true realism, I would take photographs, so now I do.
Are they both equal arts? I think so.
Each is a composition and a "snapshot" of a message, or a mood that I want to express.
I had another FAA site with a pseudonym for photography only, but I want people to know the real me.
I love both, and I want to embrace both.
So, I have separated my galleries into paintings and photography although the subject matter is often shared.
Yes, this feels like me. Music and literature have always surrounded me, so they have always been part of my art.
I am happy now and feel more like a complete artist.

Lilu is crying somewhere down the hall. I don't think she cares about my artistic status.
She is lonely and wants her mom. Until tomorrow then...
