DISCERNING

Presently, I am working on a series addressing the perplexing times we live in. The economy is fragile, a power shift to the East is imminent, dependable jobs are being lost, savings are evaporating, life styles are shrinking and citizens are perplexed and confused with deep concerns for future generations. The first phase of this series addresses discerning the times. I continue to be surprised at the theme "to measure", "to plumb" returning consistently within these works. This series will be in progress through the winter of 2011.

I start a picture and finish it. I don't think about art while I work. I try to think about life. - Jean Michel Basquiat
