The mind must rehearse it duties, its control over its passions, like a wild animal it must be tethered to the intellect.

No computer, Joel does all his art by his own hand by traditional means. I have seen him working in his studio. He is truly gifted!

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "Kitty you are so fabulous! Thank you for your support!"

I'm breathless, really impressed. By curiosity: how many time did you pass on your computer for doing it? Wonderful, magical picture.

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "No computer assist or photoshop of any kind are ever used on my paintings. No airbrushing, just natural bristle brushes and alot of patience. Thank you for visiting my gallery!"

it has deep meening to it, doesn’t it? that could be dangerouse summoning spitits, but it would be awsome to see what i’m really made of. it would be nice. and you do a great job depicting things like this, awsome.

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "I missed this comment or something, did not receive a notification. Thank you and it is very much about spirits, but its mainly about the need to discipline our own spirit, mind and body. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Sorry about the delayed response, my email is crap I think."
