"Tyranny of the Urgent" (sold)

(sold)

This quote is a reminder of what we all face every day. The tyranny of the urgent can cause us all to forget the most important priorities. The problem can only be resolved by deleting our schedules or reorganizing in such a way to allow for the important things.

The energy in this piece was the perfect backdrop for this quote. Fortunately there was a horizontal band to help quiet things down a bit. It is a visual of what we often need to do in our lives...create a horizontal band of rest and quiet. This is probably the most simple and effective way to divide a space. And it can also go vertically for a different layout. The piece still remains very dynamic with the large expressive marks and different things happening in every corner. Soft pastels come to the rescue and give additional color and still allow the previous layer to show through. Scrape the soft pastel off onto a disposable plate and apply with a hake brush.
