Here are some more, I hope that they bless you somehow. All were painted out of a long season of deep depression. Painting these (and a lot of others) was the only thing that kept me sliding off the edge. Some might ask, how can you create these out of your Bipolar Disorder? To be honest, I am just as mystified as you.
“An artist has been defined as a neurotic who continually cures himself with his art.” (Lee Simonson)
All of these paintings have been given to various non-profit organizations, for the handicapped and the mentally ill. To me, that is the place they belong.

May God’s presence come near to you today and may you understand his outlandish love for you.
“Artists are just as important as doctors and nurses. People need nourishing of their souls as well as their bodies; in Navajo culture the word for ‘medicine man’ and the ‘artist’ are one and the same.” (Marni California)
