through time and empirical proof Ive discovered that when people are annoyed by my up beat, go getter can do energy it has more to do with them than me, Ive learned to laugh at the eyerolls because after over 25 years of exposing my most personal and intimate through art to the harshness of human criticism I understand that exhausted excuses circular thinking and dread filled laziness are allergic to me because i am impervious to them, lazy artists dont make history and if I was so 'wrong' wouldnt they be happier than I am? The proverbial proof is in the pudding my dearest sirs and misses, I dont need to preach it, I dont need to sell it, I am it and like my life's work people can choose to pause and look or walk right by they can love it or leave it, I'll still be me doing me and kicking its ass in painting to Ariana Grande's 'Break Free' as audio inspiration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meWYiykCxTU&list=RDmeWYiykCxTU hello monday you're mine, all mine #leadfromwithin #pgpfineart #painting #art
