In my lifetime as an artist
I have had many folks tell me
That due to the wide variety of
styles applied to my work,
that I must have many artists
living within me.
That piece favors Picasso’s
cubism style. This one leans
toward Monet’s Impressionistic
ways. Calder-like that work
appears to be. Realism, cari-
cature, cartoon, abstract,
such a variety from one artist
is rarely seen.
How many times those remarks
have been passed along to me.
I got to looking back at some
of the work I have done, and
by golly, what was said about
a dozens of different artists
living within me appeared to
be true.
Could be I possess a schizo-
phrenic artistic personality?
In a good sort of way, I would
hope. But indeed, there is a
wide variety of styles and
techniques applied to my work.
And that possibility seems to
have increased my diversity greatly.
Guess I should be grateful—at least
one of me in there must know what
in hell I’m doing. And as far as pre-
ference goes, well I suppose that is
up to the multifaceted viewer such
as any one of you to choose.
