Mindful Musings In The Abstract” from Charles Wallis
This collection of paintings in abstract presentation reflects the artists feeling about attitudes, thoughts and events in relationships that crowd our mind, heart and soul from time to time. While each of us feels and experiences things differently we have common moments and times when our hearts and soul are sending us messages that may or may not want to acknowledge.
Charles Wallis is a graduate of the Baylor University fine art program. After college he opened a graphic design studio beginning his career as an artist. His paintings reflect mastery of his craft and versatility in a variety of styles and media. He paints in a traditional realistic style, as well as impressionistic, abstract.

16” x 20”, oil on canvas “We wear clothes, and speak, and create civilizations, and believe we are more than wolves. But inside us there is a word we cannot pronounce and that is who we are.” — Anthony Marra The greatest act of courage is to be and own all that you are. Without apology…without excuses and without any masks to cover the truth of who you truly are. Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won’t have titles until much later. It is in those moments when nothing when nothing is happening – nor is going to, in tiny moments, like islands in the ocean beyond the gray of ordinary days where sometimes you meet your own heart like someone you have never know. It is in those moments that you realize Thoreau was right when he said, “ the price of anything is the amount of life you want to exchange for it.” -

36” x 36”, acrylic on canvas Freedom lies at the first step away from something. Freedom is the beginning and not the outcome of a journey. It is our pretense that because we have choices we are free. The founding fathers were free to build a government…add cities, add states, Freedom would be pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment or reward. Freedom would be a choice less life. Do you remember the line from the song “Me and Bobby MeGee”…freedom is just another word for nothing to lose”. Yet…I am glad I was born and live in this great country. I can’t imagine a better place to be and am thankful for all those that have gone before and kept things together for the rest of us. it is our turn and what dilemmas do we have it keeping this thing going now these days.
