Art, well Paul’s anyway, Hannah’s is later: Sometimes it is hard to discern between a vice and a passion, somewhere in between the two is my art. There is a symbiotic relationship that I have with what I create, (not in a creepy way where my art and I share clothes or anything.) In a sense, art for me is a motivation, and a purpose for living. Art is something that I love to create and without me creating it, it doesn’t exist. I do not claim to be the next Picasso and I also don’t create paintings to make money, I do it because like a number of the things mentioned in this newsletter, it is a passion. Over this past year or so I have taken my art making more seriously and focused more intently on its production. (although focusing on anything for a period of time for me can be challenging for me, thus proving even more how powerful art is in my life.)
I have began to not only increase the frequency of the art I make but also had a few gallery showings and even started a “website” through an artist community called ‘redbubble.’ As with most of the projects that Hannah and I are tackling at this time it is a work in progress but the hope is that it progresses. If you would like to see some of my work you can either visit my personal art blog at http://paulmessenger.blogspot.com/or you can go to http://www.redbubble.com/people/paulmessenger/art. If you would be interested in purchasing a work of art that is not listed on my redbubble but that you like please let me know, I would be ecstatic to start that process for you!
