Sorry it's been so long since I last wrote. The fact is, I hate sitting in front of a computer....but I want to change. I've been studying Kerry Jameas Marshall and I am very inspired by his work and philosophy. He stated(not in these exact words), "Why create pieces of work that is virtually impossible to understand. The works that takes you 45 minutes to grasp only somewhat of what the artist is trying to convey. Instead, keep the intentions and message up front, so that the real challenge is actually creating a compelling piece".

I agree.
I am most inspired by his 'LOST BOYS' series:

So occasionally, I'll post artist that inspire me. 1st off; Gustav Klimt. His sense of composition and use of color  is amazing. What am I taking to the Gumbo from Gustav? 1.Composition 2. That gold is screaming Jamea. 3. Background color. I bought some lace style gold paper, incorporated it slighting in a piece of canvas, but I want more gold!!!

I have been accepted to an MFA program!!!!!
