Expressing ourselves creatively does more than bring us joy. It is just plain good medicine. It helps us resolve inner conflicts, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness. Even Jesus reminds us, if you bring forth what is within you,...

Artists spend so much time creating their art, they forget to work on their personal lives. I, myself, try to live my life in between drafts.

This is one of my first clay sculptures, I call African Prince, much like Obama, he's come a long way baby@
This is a gorgeous sculpture indeed. I like the rhythmic curvature that shapes the entire piece and the upward tilt of the head. I also like the different hues that define its rich coloring. Much gratitude for the sharing.

Christ Mocked by Soldiers (1932) Rouault
Jesus is sitting not standing with nothing around him to gatherour senses on, we can only consider closely what he will or won't do next, as he went about his business of the universe relentlesslywithholding his radiance and splendor, as the winds spindled him into the fabric of God's making.

him, he waited patiently,
when early manhood calls, he must
be ready.
