MLK DAY, January, 18 2010
I have had the opportunity to live in forty-two (42) separate places in my life, and visit many areas, cities and towns around each place lived. One common theme in the places I have lived was meeting and making new friends. I have had friendships with people from all walks of life, all income levels, all skin colors, several religions, and a near infinite number of life philosophies from the people I have encountered. Much of the common theme is people looking to improve their life however that may be. Quality of life is a common theme, and exercised daily, much of the same way in all these friends.
I teach now, and have an equally diverse student population, which I keenly try to reach, inspire, encourage and promote in my classes. Most of my days are productive, but with people inconsistency is natural…even in teachers
.
I would like to think people who are here on my website are looking for artwork, ideas, or keeping tabs on my progress as a budding professional artist. I also hope viewers will have a sense of who I am through my diverse styles of Art and Materials/ Mediums used.
I submit to everyone who reads this post to look at the philosophy Dr. Martin Luther King achieved. I appreciate and applaud the actions he achieved and how he did it. I also look to the future with my intentions of providing a positive contribution to society.
One thing I have seen in my limited experience is most people are doing the best they can with what they have (mentally, physically, monetarily..etc.) I also see people being kind to each other and look past boundaries of class and color. I offer for all of us to promote this way of life, of seeking to improve our lives, the people we encounter, and the places we live.
Best to everyone, Mitch
