hmm. perhaps. but i really believe great artwork comes from many places. religious fervor, political turmoil, illness, happiness, fear..the whole gamut of human condition. and what we call "art" is really commodity...what someone has told us is "art" what got put into the books...and the old saw about "suffering for" ones art....that i think is the struggle to realize the vision...not necessarily living in economic pecunary (sp?) or emotional despair. maybe, but heck what do i know! :-))

^ ...I rekon you know about as much as me and then a bit more my dear! :-))>

really cute! and your obvious love for your wife and family is nigh onto inspirational :-)) great work arp.

^ Thank you Bonnie...I do love my wife and family, I am so blessed. I wish everybody could be as blessed as I am (but what would that mean? ...a better less violent world I'm sure - but what about creativity? It seems a lot of great artwork comes from angst!) ;-)>
