yes ive met some of these people who had a good side but, greed takes over and, they do things that hurt others just for the sake of money

Artist Reply: L.A.: Money itself is neither bad or good. it is just a commodity to be employed and used prudently and judiciously. thanks again for your wise insights.

This has also to do with a force in human nature, Only the strongest will survive an get it all. And the best of all. Competition is a strong element in this. In sport, in beauty contests etc. Some people can have the most money and still have not enough. There is no end at it. Sometimes it can be harmless and friendly but sometimes it can be ruthless to less gifted people.It is about, me,me, me...not about 'us'. The charm of this powerful painting for me is the association with the figure of the famous Pinocchio. The wooden doll who's nose grew when he was lying. Man cannot have it all without lying and loosing one's own integrity and principles. Is it all worth this, that I 'll ask.... You are born with nothing and you shall leave this world with nothing. That is for sure.

Artist Reply: Gabrielle: Your insights into my art have brought a smile to my heart and rekindled my desire to always follow my bliss. I do so enjoy your words of encouragement and your stopping by my little gallery. i look forward to our next meeting and exchange of our art. May you always find happiness in all of your pursuits!

Positions of power can attract those least able to handle the power. I think it is important to recognise motivations for achievement. Driven by fear, or by Love.

Artist Reply: Timothy: Thanks again for dropping into my little gallery. I value your insights. Again thanks for the words of encouragement.

merle cruser 30 Jul 2007

You have depicted reality into art, truthfully, I love it! I think you nailed this one!

Artist Reply: Merle: Most of my art is a metaphor for some deeper meaning. I am glad that you recognize and appreciate my attempts. Thank you very much!!
