Misinterpretations





Some people see it as an inability to focus.
Others see it as a short attention span.


But who's to say I can't enjoy two things at once?
Who's telling me I can not paint two very different art series at the same time?


A part of me fears society won't accept me.
I don't have a "style,"
That thing that you see in all my artwork,
That thing that is distinctly...me.
But what if "me" is more than one thing?
What if I see both sides,
And I want to interpret both sides,
At the same time?


I don't know what is right.
I don't know what will help me advance my career or not.
All I know...is that I enjoy painting what I feel on that particular day.
And that day,
Last week,
I painted these.
 


And I can live with that.
