Which of these looks like the Recent Magic of the past? Tell me why? Does blue suggest magic? Do the clouds and faded colors suggest a past event better?

There's a Charm in my House, and I put it there.

The brilliance of being an artist is making your own joy. The wealth of knowing artists is sharing joy.

"Buck up, baby, come on, sick 'em
Make 'em laugh if you can't lick 'em
Keep on shinin' like you know you should
Keep on shinin', that's the way to get 'em good"-- Carsie Blanton

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."- Picasso

Pre-K graduates this week. These classes filled me with the greatest fear and frustration at the beginning of this year.

What do I do with these children...

Who don't know how to use scissors?
Who don't know how to hold a pencil?
Who don't know how to listen?
Who don't know or care about Picasso?

Let them teach me.

And that is how I still paint Cotton Candy Skies. Come see if I haven't forgotten at Soulshine Medicine through June.

This watercolor called Leviathan beats with a light that is more than photons playing across metal, rubber, gravel, grass and trees. It is also more than the slow diesel rumble and electric show of funneling hundreds of children from their homes into a school building.

All year I've been asking my students "Where does your imagination live?"

Mine has been kidnapped into a machine that pumps, slips and grinds with the hearts and minds of children. They are not mini-adults learning to mime and repeat. They are walking beings of light that fracture, bend and reflect all that bombards them. And in spite of it all, they continue to grow in the most miraculous ways.

This is not a painting of a traffic nuisance. This is the contained light of many imaginations. This precious cargo is our future. All children carry a delicate space between the heart and brain where the greatest magic persists.

Come see the painting in person while you take a class with Hunter Nicole at Soulshine Medicine.
