THIS MAN WANTS TO HURT YOU {A Year In Painting}

JAMES APONOVICH

A YEAR IN PAINTING

LA VITA E BREVE
L'ARTE E LUNGO

As our planet makes its journey around a star we call the Sun, I make my own 

journey in painting. Each week I present some aspect of our shared
life experiences through the medium of paint on canvas.

"Old men ought to be explorers"
-T.S. Eliot. The Four Quartets

THIS MAN WANTS TO HURT 
YOU

His name is Scotty but they call him Suds. That's because he drinks too much.
He likes to hurt people and he became pretty good at it.
He was a Boxer, a Champion once, Lightweight Division, now his brain is broken.
He goes from bar to bar where  they give him free drinks.

We'd better go now
We don't belong here.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT

Untitled Study

Oil on canvas, 16" x 12"  

You never saw it coming. All your life you followed the rules, work hard, serve your Country, have a family, work harder. Then you watch it fall apart all around you. Suddenly, all you know collapses. You look in the mirror and wonder where the past 30 years have gone. The disconnect is not gradual, you have become expendable, they have moved on.

Now you are alone

You are old and obsolete 

They have pulled the plug

Have a nice day
