Life is a canvas not a b####!

The canvas is symbolic to my life, blank and ready to be fulfilled with whatever I imagine.  If you are good at what you do I have come to realize it is because you quickly learn from your mistakes.  Painting is the most frustrating and challenging thing I love to do.  As I try to live up to my own expectations and figure out how to navigate through life, I often reflect back to the process I go through every time I paint.  Once you begin to see God in your work the outcome will always be fruitful and beneficial for others.  Art for me will always be more than a means to making money or becoming famous, this is my life.  In the words of Carrie Fisher, "I don't want life to imitate art, I want life to be art".  And at the end of the day both life and art will be whatever I make it!
