For the Love of Friendship

My father always told me you may love your family but you may not like what, why, and how they do the things they do. Friends how ever you have a choices to select the type of friends you want in your life. But to take note that if you choose to hang around with dogs you might pick up a few fleas along the way. Well good advice for living in this world of uncertainty. I got to say I have been very fortunate to have such wonderful friends new and old be a part of my life. As in the Dictionary it states

friend |frend|nouna person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.• a person who acts as a supporter of a cause, organization, or country by giving financial or other help : join the Friends of Guilford Free Library.• a person who is not an enemy or who is on the same side : she was unsure whether he was friend or foe.


It's very hard to live in a big city where you are complied with immense amount of people and their minds. Your ability to try to carry on with all the confusion that can be over whelming. Constantly struggling to meet your end of the bargain as a responsible adult can be a very lonely place. And this folks is where one in whom are the ones we Cherish comes to play a huge part of our lives. They have the ability to make us or break us, because they are an extension of us. They hold the mirror and reflect a part of us that we may not want to see at a particular time. But they are patient and understanding and when were ready they open the door. I have been blessed with many different shapes, color and characters of friends. But although their might be many along my path of life that I have cherished. Their are those few that stand out and I can truly say I love then and they are not only friends they are family to me. My father always said you may have millions of acquaintances but your true friends you can count on your right hand. I happy to report I have more than that lest so far. People who I had no idea would stand up to the plate for me. Those who truly were sincere in the comfort when things just got to harry and I was just disappointed beyond belief. Today I want to thank these special family members who are my friends and know that although through the years although I may not always be their physically I am always thinking of you. So I leave you with this poem:
I may not come from wealth, but because of you I am more than wealthy! I may have not had my schooling paid for, but because of you I am educated!I may not be the best looking, but because of you I feel attractive! I may not have some fancy house, but because of you I feel I have a home!I may not be a movie star, but because of you I feel I am a shinning star!I may not be at times strong, but because of you I want to live long! I may not have everything that someone wants, but with you I have every thing I need! It is that of my soul you feed! My dear Friend! Thank You!

Confusion of feeling Broken

Have you ever felt Broken? Feeling that everything around you has  falling apart in to a million pieces?You find your self hiding in bed with the blinds closed tight curled up in a ball and having not a once of energy to accomplish anything you need to do. You fight to achieve something and then something else goes wrong I mean really wrong you loose things left and right and your mind is bottled up with nothing with frustration. Every Artist at times encounters this no matter who you are. Your spirit seems it is crushed and you see no light at the end of the tunnel. You just don't care anymore about anything or anyone let alone your self. Well I just went through this again and I will tell you it is one hell of a place to be. Why do we go through this? What triggers this? Well my take on it is that we have to it is a way of changing our mind set and being passionate for why we do the things we do. We can find our selves a head of our  own bodies with not being present too far on the other side that we for get that we must remain grounded. We lost apart of our spirt that drives our creations from the creator to flourish. We must seek deeper into our being and know that we do count and we do make a difference in this world. Thus why the creator chose us to be Artist! We should never ever allow that the o mighty buck validate us to be Artist. If our work is not bought by those who claim they want to buy it yet never do. It's OK! Remember it is not others who buy our works of art that light the spark of creation. It is the passion that our creator has given us to represent a language of Visual Movement to move those who are privilged to see it yet alone given the opportunity to own a part of you!
Just do your Art for Art Sake! 

The Star Gods The Fukit's (Performance Artist)

         Great wines start with stomping on a lot of grapes, and so it goes with the soul!
 Revealing your greatness requires moments of pain.   And since our human nature is to run from it, we must make a contract with ourselves to go through the hurt, no matter what.

Today, renegotiate your contract, and commit to going through discomfort in order to become great.

This seems to have really got me this morning when I saw this video. I can really relate to this artist of artistic movement as a women always in change feeling separated and pulled in all kinds of ways. It really has inspired me to create I hope it dose the same for you.

Time to Smile!

This work is based on the union of the people who represent moving forward in enlightening a higher conscientiousness, awareness of the past to our modern times for the good of change for all peoples that have come from all countries around the world to make United States of America what it is today.

This painting is partly a Performance Art Piece:

 Over time, in the Gallery at West Los Angeles College, the Artist will continue adding figures of portraits: Those portraits symbolize the knowledge, wisdom and talents of those who live in the United States of America, who are helping in raising a higher conscientiousness; setting an example for those around them as well as those who view this painting in the future.

Upon completion, the Artist will have a list of names as well as a diagram of whom were chosen and depicted in this painting for future reference.

Ms. Siqueiros would also like to extend a warm “Thank you” to all those who have contributed in setting aside their time, and providing space towards the completion of this painting for future generations to view.
