Tortured soul 3

Mixed media on canvas panel.
    The latest in the Tortured soul series. I like this project because it departs from what I normally do. It has its own spirit so to speak. 

Many artists like to venture away from the main track and play with new ideas. You don't know what will happen when trying unfamiliar art techniques, and this must be the attraction we seek.

This guy has a story like the other two in this series. His life could be a mix of any, or even all the musicians that work their heart and soul out, trying to snatch the brass ring if it ever comes around. Many never feel the euphoria of that success. Our fellow here is one of those:

"One must endeavor till wits end. No doubtful shadow must fall on the path before you. Greatness comes to no-one but the fearless giant within".

My fruitless path has brought me to this moment. I am faced with the knowledge that my heart and soul fell prey to the careless words of fools. These loathsome words carved a rocky road to my endless gloom and despair, and forever wounded this spirit. 

Why did I listen to hypocrites, and whom of the lot rose to greatness, lighting the path before me? None I say.

Should I, could I have been anything else in this life? I think not.

Alas, I haven't a choice do I? My music warms the fabric of my soul, and gives me hope that others will hear and cherish that which I feel. This is my cause, and will be to my end. I'll find a way to stay in this place and persevere through the dim lights and dark corners in this city of cold indifference. I am music now and always.

He's still kicking

(The old bird)      It's fun to draw birds every now and then. I seem to be brought back to birds and trees for the most part. Might as well give them a strange personality too.

Free food this way

(Free food)      Had fun with this little pig design. I’m thinking about doing it on a Sketch Card soon. It will be at one of my shows. Could be late fall before I setup again this year though. A Christmas event might be a good one to add to the calendar. So for now, I’m working on a lot of sketch cards for this fall, and into the spring.

Pumpkin Cat

( Plumpkin' )        Glory to fat cats .  I have an Instagram account and see them all the time. This is a simple piece of art that I enjoy doing when there's not a lot of time. There's hundreds of them lying around here. We are in Colorado for a few more weeks, then headed back south. There's a small town called Victor near our home here in CO. (an old mining town), and we go there for some of the festivals the city puts on during the warmer months. One is called ( Victor Pack Burro Race ).    It's funny to see people running along with their donkeys or Burros . The person along side the animals are dressed like old 49ers, to look the part. The animals may have the gear of a real pack mule and carrying tools and blankets and so forth.   While at one of their festivals, I talked with an artist that does super creative photography and art. I picked up one of her cards so that her name and website could be featured here on my blog ( Claire Stee
