they say you’re too loud or too meek?–
But if you step away from critique–
Then you win.

For those of you in the cold

I don’t remember what I was thinking when I originally painted this. Now, the meaning is clear. The “man” below symbolizes our country trying to hold up the Statue of Liberty, America.
Thinking about Mexico
I recently returned from a trip to Cabo and loved my interactions with the people of Mexico. I was reminded of the piece I painted several years ago from a photograph of a friend’s family. By the way, I’m against the wall.
