Having Faith that i will make enough art in the time before the art show. Take the time to make the art I need. Do not be afraid of what I might produce. Just produce what I feel and what comes to mind. Fields of flowers, houses, foxes representing sin. I feel i am making prgress. as i conclude, my imagination soars. what i could produce and what i do make is no difference. it is all the same in that i make things for the sake of producing. i make things for the sake of representation. youthfuly divided in an intercept because of naivity and roadblocks. roadblocks blocking my ways on the clear narrow path of creation. they take away from nyour freedom. the urge to feel you need to shout to make a point is a hurtful attempt at regisration in the “you are right” office. so i will not shout in my art, i will not be prideful with my art because once you begin to be pridefu in the process of art making, your art becomes prideful and how obvious and painstakingly naive is prideful art? by the time you make it it is already done. you cannot add to it any more because it has what is already boastfully consists of. so, do not make prideful art. i feel i do not make prideful art. i feel my art is peaceful and consise. i feel i am making art that will represent my time here in wissahickon and during the time i am experiencing now as a youth precisely. it is youthful yet mature, dark and preceptive, new and old at the same time.

What you say reflects your beliefs and what you love.
Who you associate yourself with reflects how you view yourself.
In the realm of society we seem to believe that we are not good enough. As teenagers we see ourselves as the lower law in society, making no effect what so ever. As we walk in the corridors of the people, one by one, how are we seeing ourselves? Do we suspect our actions have no effect what so ever? Or do we see the ripple effect, the answer to our actions? Are we really alone in this world with our choices and our beliefs? The answer is no. I am telling you this because I see it through people every single day. I see the pain of nonchalance, I see the lack of caring in the eyes of my peers. The only thing you can do to rescue u from your nonchalance you carry on every day, the beliefs you say you have but do you really carry through with, is to take a good long look at yourself and know what is right. If you are not doing what is right- if you are not helping out people everyday, if you are not speaking the truth, if you are lying and deceiving people for your own benefit, then you are in the wrong. To sink down into the pits of wrong desire is to fall. Just to completely fall. If you want to get back up you have to forgive yourself, and forgive others who hurt you. Without forgiveness, we cannot simply move on to anohter place.
This has to do with my panel because the making of art is sort of a forgiveness process. I am forgiving myself through the movement of applying color to applicable surfaces. I forgive myself by showing myself the law of creation. We can always start new. We can always begin applying something beautiful on a new surface in our lives.

My panel is now string hung up alongside each other. i’m not sure wat this is supposed to resemble. nor am i sure why i did it. i just felt the compassion to take everything down and start over, and have the simplicity of the string greet me whenever i see the panel. my productivity is prospering. my judgment is receding.

My panel has become alive with color and contrast. With the colors and the new pieces i have painted, my panel is now evolving into a colorful panel of abstract paintings and surrealist paintings. My progress is being made quickly so i look forward to making new pieces to incorporate into my portfolio which was lacking colour and abstractions. before it had just been my pilgrim’s progress pieces and my landscape pieces, but now it has in it coloured surrealist paintings
