One's Too Many a Thousands Not Enough

I was always a man of extremes, impetuous, and dangerously adventurous. With a sense of invulnerability that pervaded my very being. If I was told to try one of "something" I would try three. Never was there enough. You might say that my youth was wasted on me being young. You could say that and it would be true. But I think that this restless artist's heart drove him to journey on the path less traveled. Looking back I would not have had it any other way. I just would warn those who would also try the very same road that I traveled to be careful, it can be dangerous and some of my fellow companions didn't make it back home. Now, some say I am wiser, I know that I am defintely older. Yet, I'm not too sure of the former but I am of the latter. But I still enjoy traveling to distant, dangerous and exciting places but I think I'm a little smarter now. So I'll just use my paint, my brushes and my palette to do the traveling for me now. It's a lot safer for me to journey that way. So here's my wish for me and for all my fellow artist pilgrims that they color, brighten and flourish in all that they do. visionary imagist "Joey"

Again a work from you with a strong message. We all have to walk alone on our own path and can't help avoid the paths of others. These lessons we have to learn, if we want it or not. Hope we all learn more fast than we did before to come home soon. Great style, Joey.

Artist Reply: Annette: So nice to hear your insightful words. They are as a cool breeze on a hot day, soothing and refreshing to my very soul. I enjoy sharing art with you. Spacious dreams. Thanks!!

Those are wise words...it is everything or nothing. I do not like the middle road or to have to compromise either but the sharp edges become softer when one grow older. The storms may lay down. A very expressive image Joey!
