I Didnt Know Back Then Who I Would Become
Museum of Modern Art
New York City
Circa 1978
Had free admission
Part of the perks working in TV
CBS across the street
My first city corporate gig
A boring droid position
The museum saved me
Was there all the time
One day it clicked
Looking at a Rothko painting
Or maybe Pollock
I said to myself
I can do this
I want this
I became it
Abstraction
My love
My soul
My journey
My path
My redemption
My heart

How awesome to have found your path! And we're fortunate you share the journey with us.
I'm still not sure who I might become, most days...

I remember the day like it was yesterday. Everything clicked.
I just started and have been on long journey. I did take a bunch of years away from it when I switched careers but I still had the mindset.
I'll always see myself as an artist first. If I was literal I'd paint you.
But in the next life. Here it's all about texture and movement.
BIG THANKS NG

You’re welcome, PS
The solid lines over the blurred lines gives it a nice 3D effect.
In the next life, I’ll pose for that painting 🎨

I can envision the painting, a spectacular vision of statuesque beauty and grace. Perhaps on top of a mountain, long hair blowing back. Wearing all black. Spectacular necklace of multicolored jewels. All juxtaposed against your blond tresses. Your kingdom below ...
