THE SORCERER
Jason was 15 at the time I painted
this painting. What inspired the painting
was my amazement at Jason's wizardry on guitar.
I had taught him Dylan and classical guitar.
I did not know he secretly
became a master of rock guitar
on his own in his room
when through with my lessons.
It is
kind of goofy
but fitting with the eternal naughty child that Jason is
that the title was inspired by the Disney cartoon
of Mickey mouse
as the sorcerer's apprentice.
Mickey
secretly gets hold of the Sorcerer's wand
and commands mops and buckets
to dance and splash water and clean everything
until they flood the world.
Jason
took my wand guitar
and made wild crazy music.
You
can see in the painting
how his guitar creates mountains
and thunder and magic everywhere.
Suddenly
he was the Sorcerer
and I
the lowly apprentice.
