SEEK
Finding our place in the world.
This can take many shapes depending on what you or the teenagers in your life are looking for now. What we are seeking changes all the time…Love, Purpose, Comfort, Quiet, Wealth, Validation, Escape and so on. The challenge for me with the teenagers in my world is to let them do this on their own terms. It ain’t easy. But, it’s entirely necessary.

Here is a snapshot of one of my new paintings about teenagers. It needs a lot of work, but I can see this finished painting clearly in my mind’s eye. My nearly 18-year-old son helped me with this piece. I get to work on the writing for this series today while Ellis recovers from getting his wisdom teeth out. If you have some ideas you would like to see explored about teenagers or just general thoughts or stories, please send them to me. I would love to hear from you. Have a great Friday wherever your adventures take you!
