Detail 2Barefoot children stained with red dirt. Casting gazes through snaggled tooth smiles upon every moment which passes through a summer. Theirs is an awe of innocence with the lifespan of a dandelion.

Detail 3None of us go around intentionally kicking hives, unless you indulge in acts of stupidity or false bravura. But life is a teacher and getting stung are it's lessons. Those instances and experiences that we are occasionally subject to causing enough alarm as to affect the fiber of our being and shakes us to our foundations. It reprograms the hardware of our thinking and emotions. Honing attention to details with a degree of microscopic scrutiny. One lifts their head towards the winds with a sense of discernment that can literally smell a drop of blood through a sea of charm, wit and charisma. You hunt, or be hunted.
It elicits physical reactions..... No, those are not butterflies in your stomach...... they come with first kisses and public speaking. These are rather venomous barbs that bounce around your viscera, shortening your breath and your steps as you try to measure the situation and weigh it against "fight or flight".

"Prometheus Stumbled", 20x16", mixed media on canvas
"Prometheus Stumbled"The heat incites stupid things. It fuels frustrations causing people to react in extreme manner. It stresses patience and wears at the fabric of our good nature... or at least those of us who have a good nature. It boils our brains and causes us to seek out the closest pool, sprinkler, waterhose, horse trough, etc. In our sweaty, sticky laspe of comfort, we tend to let good sense, logic and rational thought melt away. Embroiled and lost in our own personal discomfort, we become careless.

Antonio Lopez Garcia
-"...Each painter has his own time speed, say longer or faster, to do his things. Sorolla was fast, Leonardo was slow, Goya was fast but you find of every kind. You have to accept your own speed. If you are slow, then you have to abide, in spite of all the inconveniences that this will create. Don't give it any importance. It's like a person who is short. That's just how he is for the rest of his life, he,he,he. In our generation, everything goes at high speed, and the slow ones are always in an eternal contradiction."- Antonio López García http://http://www.artdetails.com/antonio_lopez_garcia.htm
