I Am Not Finished

I Am Not Finished
2010
 

I am not finished,
just a work in progress.
It is all I will ever be.
Ever changing, ever growing.
Developing, evolving,
for better maybe for worse.
I am not done.
This is not what I want to be.
I am what I am,
but for a moment.
Then I am something else.
I can hardly tell, myself,
what I might become.
But becoming is what I am.
Ever changing, ever growing.
With my dying breath,
I will say,
but I am not finished.

Hold the Door

Hold the Door

Lunch with the girls is fine with me
We chat and laugh and dine
We talk of this and talk of that
And have a good old time

Sometimes there's one, or maybe two
Sometimes it's three or more
And every time we go to lunch
I try to hold the door

But chivalry is dead you see
And sometimes others whine
They fight to hold the door for me
And claim "the turn is mine"

I thought it was OK to hold
The door for other's too
But if the door for you I hold
You want to hold it too

Equal rights is what you say
Sometimes I would agree
But not when holding doors for you
A gift I give for free

If chauvinist is how you see
The person that I am
I guess I better place this rose
In someone else's hand

I was raised in times gone by
When men were gentle-men
And women were so many things
But mainly ladies then

You'd hold the door and you'd be told
That everything was fine
You'd hold the door for young and old
And never hear them whine

You never had to hire defense
And prove your motives pure
You knew there'd be no consequence
Because you held the door.

8x10 was so anxious to paint, I forgot to write a message. I might have to keep this one.

8x10 White, Yellow, Orange, and Black
Message: Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;

This one is 9x12 and i in a style that is done in Alice Springs Australia. It is for my brother-in-law.

Just a small dot painting

4x4 Dot painting for a coworker who helped me with insurance claims.
There is a message under this painting too.  And notice my name is in braille in lower right corner.

This one was made from the drippings from the one I made for the charity event and has the same scripture reference:
Proverbs 3:5  This one is only 4x4

This first one was for a fund raiser for Breast Cancer Research. It is 8x10.
I included a card on the back explaining what was under the painting:
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
