Which of us are not in many days merely plugging along, treading water, staying afloat…

This weary figure emerged within my painting entitled “Bison Fetish”.  I have been doing many of my paintings in warm, vibrant colors, so this particular image is at odds with the festive nature of the colors in the painting.  It is symbolic of how hard work reaps reward, eventually.  Not all reward is immediate.  It builds the character of who you are, and eventually emerges in a manner not necessarily as anticipated.  It is my philosophy: keep plugging along!
