FREEDUMB

18″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Acrylic

 

Do we really have freedom? Are we just free to be dumb? Gasoline, mortgages and phone bills are the new shackles around our feet. Do we really have freedom? We need passports to cross invisible lines on land. We need to be sick to smoke the medicine provided by a plant. Do we really have freedom? It’s still not legal for two people who are deeply, truly, madly in love to get married in certain states. People are still not getting paid what they deserve cause the color of their face. Is this what freedom is? We are trapped by our bills, our jobs, our fears. You are free to be dumb. Emancipate yourselves from material and mental slavery. Only then will you truly be free…

THE EXCHANGE

11″ x 13″ Mixed Media on Acrylic

 

“This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind…let it be something good.”

TAN BACKGROUND

24″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Acrylic

 

Tanning is not good for you unless it’s part of a painting.  I feel like I’m running out of ideas for names for my paintings that I use circles in.  That could be a problem since it is kind of my thing.  I guess I’ll just have to get more creative with the titles as I go along.  Or maybe ask you guys for more help…

CROSSED OUT

24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Acrylic

 

 

Crossed Out was just about finished drying up when I started making X shapes  and mashing up the paint a little.  I still wanted to add more detail to this one, but I liked the way it fades up from a mosh pit of paint into the X patterns.  I guess I can always come back to it if I really want to.
