I am going to be exhibiting at Merrymeeting Art gallery on June 6th . The gallery opens at 6 , at 7 I will be giving an art talk, a show and tell kind of. I will be talking about things I have already posted about the last couple of years.

Audiences are important.

Give me your tired,your poor,your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shores
Send these homeless tempest tossed to me. I lift my lamp besides the golden door.

The painting "therapy". It is slowly getting there. Probably a couple of weeks to completion.

Sometimes a painting can change the whole feel of a room. Nothing like staying the obvious.

I keep on hearing how we have 2 years. We don't, power is being seized now. A war would be a good excuse to have total control .

One can not reason with a bully. A bully sadistically enjoys hurting others. When faced with a bully one has only 2 options, submit or match force and then some. A bully uses force for pleasure, a defender uses force out of necessity.

I used to lie but I grew up. I might still lie now but only to spare someone's feelings from unnecessary hurt. I will not lie to hurt someone, not lie for self aggrandizement nor to escape responsibility. If I lie I lose self respect and credibility.

I have done a series of large drawings on construction paper. Each drawing is about 8 hours to complete . I wanted to free myself from the more worked up paintings. The Artist Doug Chedd

I am feeling the stress of current events. I am calling this painting Therapy. It is not finished. I am actually in therapy. The Artist Doug Chess

I keep on hearing we just have to make it through. Quite possibly we won't make it through. Women dying because of draconian laws aren't making it through. Children being denied food and medicine through out the world aren't making it through.
