FOR ARTIST: Watercolor from a Christian Romance Novel. Braving the unknown to carve out a home. Models are two of my girlfriends teens. Now they are both married with children.
FOR ACTORS: Leaving the ho-hum's of suburbia, griping the wheel and blazing straight into my madcap dreams. Driving with hope, wonder and strands of hair blowing in the cold air. Stop at Buc-ees for a Red Bull and praline shaped like the State of Texas. I arrive smiling on a sugar high, eyes bright, sides in the cusp of my palm, completely exposed, yet my nerves are unrattled. I've done this a million times, I'm a stringed marionette, and like a gratuitous puppet I begin. I've temporarily abandoned my depression for a truer sense of being. I'M ACTING!!!!!
This is my social order, I'm in the midst of my tribe, snaking around the soul of my calling. How can I ever do anything else?
It's over? So soon? My exhilaration so full as I leave. Intuitions so raw my spirit howls. I scream back in my car so excited, my one way passage home begins, traveling beneath the vault of heaven and the earth buzzing fast beneath the tires. I travel hundreds of miles to experience the happiest moments I've ever known. My bank account holds only a fist full of funds, all I have is who I am. The heart and soul of a creative artist God saw worth creating. He has told me more than once, "Nothing is foolish that fulfills my passion." Thank you God! Acting, auditioning you are my passion!
ACTING MAKES ME BRAVE!
