“Lonely Barn”

Sometimes We all get lonely.

Structures, Built from the ground up.

Driving along winding roads in a never ending forest that craves water.

The sun is relentless, and god forbid the time when that one sunbeam sends them all packing.

Running and hiding for cover. Nothing goes to waste in this town.

A Town that is thankful for the mere idea of rain. When Mother Nature becomes so threatening that the people are frightened for their very lives, that is the time when you start to pay attention.

The things that you see become so important that time seems to stand still.
The arms of the clock move so quickly that you might wonder where it all went. Where did the time go?

Maybe time is a concept that we may never understand.
But We can certainly consider that at some point we need companionship. Somebody outside of our Mama and Papa that will care for us. Somebody we can care for as well. Something important, something essential, something that rocks your world.

This is the essential concept for these paintings. This group of frivolous work that borders on absurdity represents my current stage of life. What I see, what I hear and what I believe to be what I think I know.
Please join me on this journey and find the way out of this
