Rite of Passage. Life is full of many "starts and stops." We often compare our successes or failures to those who are taking a journey at the same time as we are. To not fall into that type of thinking pattern is very difficult in our culture. I thought about the competitive nature of our society and the feelings that arise when we are about to start a race at the same time as other people, as I painted this piece. The people I really admire, are the ones that are able to look past comparisons and focus on bettering themselves without having to be better than those around them.
So it Begins, Oil on Canvas, 36"x 48". Available at Terzian Galleries.

Incredibly well said. I came across your blog after seeing your painting of your family at dinner. Your talent is incredible. Reading your description of what your aim is in painting (prior to your Thesis show) I say you capture it perfectly. It's been lovely walking through your gallery.
