We're holding Tim Kerr's art show over from December, so it seems like a good excuse to look a little more closely at his work. I asked Tim to say something about 3 of his paintings:
Love Supreme
Ever since I heard John Coltrane, he has been a constant in my life. I have his name tattooed on my wrist. I honestly feel that he was sent here with a message of healing through his music. Alice Coltrane was his wife and made just as powerful a message through her music as well.
Jeff Ho & Craig Stecyk III
If I hadn't wanted to surf in the early 60s, I would have never skated. If I had never skated, Big Boys, the first band I was in, would have never happened. Jeff Ho and Stecyk are surfers and were two of the instigators of what would become DogTown. Watch the doc Dogtown And Z Boys.
Sit Down To Stand Up
Rosa Parks has been quoted as saying "I was one of many" and the women on this painting were just a few of the ones that came before her. They all refused to give up their seat to make a stand. What that means to me is that we are all making history. That there is so much more around us that we may never know about but I for one am always curious. There are a lot more unsung folks that we should be celebrating.
