Rural America - how to escape a racist.

how far do you have to go to find a racist, Ive tried to escape, unsuccessfully.  I do not participate and I act uncomfortable.  yet because of the color of my skin i still experience it.  racism is alive and well in the year 2009.  it has changed, become more dangerous.  Racism is inside of me, inside all of us, inside of america.

Separated from the canvas

I feel separated from my work. Taken away from my element I struggle to find my way back to art. Wondering if I will ever regain my artistic vision, which was once so strong.

Driving away from my house this morning, I couldnt keep my mind from thinking about separation. Separation from my life. I Recently took a full time position, which has taken the my life and transformed it. I worry.

Ive gotten over the hump, and my work is beginning to improve. The other day I figured out what makes the work I do unique. It's the way my hand moves, and at times the way my hand refuses to move in the way i want it to.

I want to share but I have reservations about sharing online. I worry about where my work will end up and who will be taking credit. I know that as an artist I should want as many people to see my work as possible but I have reservations about letting my work go.

I am a minimalist but I believe in color.
