The New Year

Acceptance of the things I cannot change and the courage to work at the things I can is the 2010 take home message for me. I have been working on the piece below for a a week or so and just completed it this morning. More and more I am working to turn my inherent critical nature into that of an observer when the circumstances appear to involve our collective evolution and not some quick fix. Picking fights with brick walls seems way too silly these day though I am still always ready for a good debate when there is something to be gained by it. 

I am looking forward to great opportunities to make art and say what I need to say with all the understanding and compassion I can muster. Creative 2011 to all!
