My images almost always seem to portray doom and gloom! I've been shoveling through my brain, tossing out some darkness and trying my hardest to stick to absorbing positive thoughts. In the process I was thinking about my fifteen year old daughter poking fun of my typical dad concerns, complaints and worries. Sometimes my only response to her is "You Will See". It's sometimes tough to keep fighting off problems and remain strong inside. Of course, we've all been through trouble. We deal with it and keep moving ahead. She's had a different life than I have and I do my best to see her happy, but just a suggestion to keep in mind: It is not that easy to keep going. Hold on to hope through it all as you go forth. Those are the words in this piece.

This painting is made up of eight panels (permanently attached). I have an exhibition opening May 4th at Philadelphia's Arch Enemy Arts. The group show title is Periodic Table of Elements. My element is Arsenic (As). You will able to find this original painting at the gallery and limited edition prints here on my website:
