Connections

  Hey you guys!

     I decided to make a post today and just share some of the things that are on my mind. 

     I'll be sharing more on my main blog at https://www.angelasartarea.com/blog  

     I hope that you visit and leave a comment as well. 

     Although, I don't create for comments alone. I love art so would create nomatter what. I DO love to share though. I'm just a bit thrown by all of the technology today, along with the legal issues that may present themselves. Just knowing that they are out there and that more people are likely to use things against me seems like a threat in a way. 

     Still, I never was one to let anything like that stop me. Someone recently commented on a a video about Julian Lennon. I've been obssessed with the guy but oddly enough NOT in the way some rather fanatic fans seem to be. 

     Julian Lennon's life and really nobodys life is my life. Due to that and absolutely no offense at all, I don't really see the interest in their personal lives. The only time I have the slightest interest in a public figures life or really anyones is if we are connected somehow. Usually either art, blood or Spirituality but other than that I really have no interest in someone who I do not know personally. My feelings are let them live.

     My reasoning for being obssessed with Julian Lennon is mainly his art and more so his photography because although I like music, as some of you know I grew up in the music world. My view of the music world wasn't 100% like his I'm sure but it did infact teach me a few things. 

     Although, I CAN sing if I choose to. I choose not to sing because in all honesty, my jaw pops out of joint due to my having had seizures for years and that can be very painful. To ME, it's not worth it, although I am NO fool and know that I could make a pretty penny off of singing alone. I don't create to only make money. 

      When I sell my art, I think of it in the same respect as a person with a 9 to 5 job. It's not wrong for those who do have a 9 to 5 job to make money, so why should it be wrong for me to? STILL, I would create with or without money, which seeing as how I am anything but rich, that should be very obvious.  

     I DO have to admit that I am a tad curious about Julians relationship with his father. I see the things that our fathers had in common but don't feel that it's my place to go there too much. 

     My father is not well known but he was the choir director for most of the choirs that I was in. He was also the lead in some of the musicals I was in growing up. We're talking about from 15yrs though. I was blessed not to have to deal with it until that time. My father tried to form us into a group as children but my mother would not have it. Again, I do NOT sing today by choice and have let my voice go. For someone to have practiced each week for years to have to let that go was HUGELY heartbreaking. Even with visual arts, I miss singing sometimes. Like the song, I choose to let it be about both issues.

      I know this is a very different topic but I will be sharing a photo of my studio later and would love to hear what you all think.  I do hope that you all keep an eye out. Most importantly, have a wonderful holiday!

      Namaste,

              Angela
