Naked Us (Barry Sons-Berwick, LA & Louis Toliver Jr- Swartz, LA)

Naked -Open

To reach into that part of you; Can my hand find the mystery, the spark the piercing fire to your eyes?

Future-Promise-Hope

The majesty of your presents sits like a king brought to canvas. Will my hand have the grace to bring it to life?

Model-Brush-Stencil- Art

Every stroke a lesson in control. Every line left alone, a gift.

The subject speaks before us

The artist strokes respectively

Every fear brought to reality in the search for truth. A torment.

Thoughts, life, reality, a person

Sensual, invoking, thoughtful, unity

To respect the trials in your life that makes you who you are.

The artist and subject together, forever

To create a new destiny for enlightenment

To express them onto canvas, the truth of you; the truth of me.

Steadfast (Catrina Crowe - Ruston, LA)

Moving Forward (Louis Toliver Jr-Swartz, LA)

Step by step, I step I hear the angels sing Hope, today, they bring Flying up with pep I become Heaven's rep Riding along God's wing
Moving forward can be hard Struggling through today Living life is not all play The fortune teller draws a card It warns that Fate has no guard Never let pain get in your way
Flying high with my life I am moving, so I'm living Heart and heart, I keep giving I will one day meet my afterlife Everyone's past contains strife Let my future be thanksgiving
When the steps run out I will just fly and fly and fly I leave the past with a goodbye Up on God's wing, I won't pout Going to heaven, I do not doubt In hell, I was just a passerby
Moving forward, strength will build Letting go is the hardest part Vitality comes from being smart Trust in those that are strong-willed Our honest actions will be fulfilled I step, I sing to you, I fly, I depart
