Frida Kahlo guitar Assemblage& State of Decay Polaroids

This is an older piece but one of my favorite assemblages still to date.

My oldest son reclaimed the thrown away guitar 

proudly bringing it to me to "make art with".

He was about 8 at the time. (now 18)

My sons are so sweet~ 

My grandma has these beautiful peonies

and my sweet youngest son (14) picked me some.

It's been rainy and cool

which is always my favorite painting days

 so I'm working on 

    Polaroid paintings.

Life is beautiful!

harsh yet SO true {pride series}

We often think pride, is the OBVIOUS,
don't ever underestimate this nasty one
it is much SO more craftier than that..
it hides in the eyes of those
who ARE RIGHT.
and YOUR NOT.

it is the {in} of INJUSTICE.
it lurks among the subtle,
with the smirk,
that hovers among
the gossip
and judgement...
that often comes with
a tag
of let's pray for
so.N.so
as they themselves begin
the descent
the
tear
d
o
w
n
of what one {thinks} they know
all the while
lifting of
{oneself}
UNAWARE
of the exchange made
a hefty price paid to
a death
sentence
of
PRIDE.
