Spread 209 – Dark
12-13 December 2015
Vintage and personal items and images, matte medium, Nova Color paint, black ink.
From an early age I have always seen the brighter side of any situation. I have long developed survival skills enabling me to adapt to a adversity. Perhaps it is my ability to analyze people and situations from several angles at a moments notice. It takes skill to look deeper at a relationship, event or picture.
Lately I have come to realize I am the anchor in a very turbulent storm. Amazingly, looking back it would seem it has become my vocation all along in this life. It is a weary, exhausting job. Who do I lean on? I am tired. Perhaps I never will be able to.

This spread is from a recent class with Orly Avineri.
This is fantastic Brian. I so understand everything you have shared as well. It is exhausting and often makes me want to run away, but then who would take care of everyone?
Thank you Tom!
I love you my dear friend…so beautifully written and moving my heart…better times must come..
I love you too Orly! Thank you!
Wow Brian, I love your spread and it is amazing I was having these same thoughts this weekend. It is exhausting but, you must take time to care for yourself. Sending love. Looking forward to meeting you later this month.
I am looking forward to meeting you as well!!!
Kind of looks like our sky right about now. Well, the sky is definitely more gray. I really don’t like the short days of winter! I keep seeing a big spider on it’s back in your spread. I’m running! 🙂
so understand this- I was the oldest of three- the caretaker- so yes dear friend you can lean on me I feel a song coming on
Thank you Terry! You are too sweet.
Nice now. Funny how dark this is with the Kings doing so well.
