I like the painting, but I hate moths, so I'd like them all to fly off to the moon!

That sentiment alone can be a remarkable influence for artistic expression.

Art requires nothing more from it's maker than honesty and discipline.

I am the harshest critic of my own work. I squirm at the thought of other people looking at it, evaluating it, being critical of it. But art is as much a conversation as it is a statement: Call and response. As an artist I am for ever refining the ability to internalize the responses I want/need and forgetting the rest. Art requires that you care enough for what other people say to make yourself a better artist but not care so much that every criticism renders you incapable of expression.

Very nice - I recognize some of those batiks you used.

If I am able to find a location to host some of the music I've written, I will post it in the future. Art is expression; not all art is appreciated when it is made, but it doesn't lessen the value of creation.
