Art Out Of Focus

Out Of Focus
My artist brushes lie in wait for me, as my painting skills seem to be an in-and-out work of art these days. Some days it seems so selectively out-of-focus that I do not think I even remember how to being. It’s like a far off bokeh that I see as a circle of confusion, all fuzzy and dim. I know it’s still within me, a great aesthetic quality which I was born with, a God given talent. So I must find it again and get rid of the distractions. Until then the brushes will remain at rest; as a blurred vision of neglected paraphernalia of my talents...waiting and waiting.
For now the camera has taken over my priorities.

  7. I paint too, but haven't in years! The camera has taken over my life for now... So like you, my brushes sit quietly in the dark, until the light within me turns on.

  8. lovely image! i tend to go in phases and my current phase focuses on photography more than my mixed media art. the circle will come back around and hope it will for you too if that is what you want.

  14. It is hard to keep focused on more than one thing at a time...it is good to take things in turn...Your photography is gorgeous...like a painting!
