A Man Without a Country ; Kurt Vonnegut and My painting…it is not very well but no matter ; )

“If you want to really hurt you parents, and you don’t have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

“Si quieres lastimar a tus padres, y no tienes el valor de ser gay, lo menos que puedes hacer es convertirte en artista. No estoy bromeando. Las artes no son una manera de ganarse la vida. Son una forma muy humana de hacer la vida más soportable. Practicar un arte, no importa cuan bien o mal, es una forma de hacer crecer el alma. Cantar en la ducha. Bailar con la radio. Contar historias. Escribir un poema, aún un poema malo. Hazlo tan bien como puedas. Obtendrás una enorme recompensa. Habrás creado algo.” Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

    I love your pastel and the Vonnegut quote. I’ve been to Venice at what seems almost a lifetime ago, and I enjoyed your depiction of one of it’s charms.

    Painting, painting, painting…: I do like your pastel of Venice. I have never been there, but it is on my list to see one day. Thank you for following my blog on art, J.F. Matthews Fine Art. Although I live in Texas country, I visit Santa Fe and Taos, spending time in galleries. I was in Taos recently and toured the Couse studio, Harwood Musuem. I see by your blog that you have a view of life that resonates art, liberty, beauty, travel, and good writing. I echo your blog, your view. I look forward to reading your work and your back posts. –J. Matthews

    I agree wholeheartedly.

    Create from your heart🐬, therein lies the art, and this is the way to live, this is the way to give, to yourself and others, sons daughters and mothers, fathers and flowers, with or without special powers!

    – thanks for your post!
