This year has seen the completion of and a culmination of my academic studies as of late. I have achieved a MFA. Righto Chap. My wife is pregnant and working on her final year to atain her masters degree and I have been working way to much, not socializing as much as I once did, doing more around the house in anticipation of our bundle of joy and definately not working out enough and yet, I am rediscovering a sense of self exploration and a drive to produce works of art, mostly drawings, but paintings as well. I have ben in the process of organizing much of my art works in a flat file and it too has refreshed my love of the process of producing art works. What leads to a successful piece of art varies so often that it is often a mystery as to what may be the key to success the next time. Yet diligence and persevereance will be a part of the time involved.
I have tangent’ed way from my self exploration and delved into the process associated with this and with my visit to reciting Hebrew prayers and to my visits to Synagogue, aka, temple and shul. This time of year, this process of renewal brings a recognition of the parts of life I must be sure to not let slip by, I must not be concerned with the trivial and mundane, but persevere and over come, see alternate meanings and possibilities and execute multiple tries, and find within myself the abilities and propensities that are there, and see renewal and continuation as one and always remember to be thankful for the opportunities I encounter.
