Title: “Revolution”
\nMedium: acrylic on canvas
\nSize: 24″X36″<\/p>\n

Story: I consider myself a revolutionary in that I believe that art can
\nbring about political change. John Lennon certainly believed in that idea.<\/p>\n

But it is never simple. Change can bring about unexpected consequences.<\/p>\n

I have included a quote on the surface of my painting, made popular by
\nthe physicist, Richard Feynman. He heard it from a monk. “Every man is
\ngiven a key to heaven. The same key fits the gates to hell”.<\/p>\n

I just love those words of wisdom.<\/p>\n

The same nuclear knowledge can cure cancer or it can create a nuclear
\nbomb with the ability to destroy us all.<\/p>\n

We are certainly capable of doing both and I find that interesting.<\/p>\n
