“On the NY transit line…” time for some fun. The drawing for this piece, like most from this show, is over 15 years older than the painting! The Engine No. 9 title comes from the Black Sheep song, which was never the inspiration for the art; it just popped up as I neared its completion. I love when random things in life work themselves out. Someone told me (I cant remember who, Nerelys or Gabriela) that I was manifesting. That’s a powerful thing to hear, ponder and then believe. Because of the spiritual and creative seeds I have planted in the universe, the universe was now giving back, and that feels like a wondrous train of prosperity bearing down on me! I wish I could write like I paint to really describe how it all feels!
