"Bread and Circuses." A modern day visual parable. Since the days of Rome, and the Roman Satirical poet Juvenal (circa 100) the phrase "bread and circuses" was coined in Satire X. The culture of small distractions of leisure activity has been optimized. The focus has been not merely in satisfying the immediate shallow requirements of a populace but as a guise to drawing attention away from what is really going on in the world. There of course is a profit in all of this.

Deep within my spirit lies the need to express myself. Through my art I am able to continue this process and strive for ways to improve my craft. My paintings are a contemporary fusion. I allow them to go in a number of directions from loose, to a more representational style.

Each painting I do is a little different from the last.

I have...

This made me go to my books to see who of the old timers it looks like. This is very well done and has the look of impressionist from Europe. It's your own Susan, but in the spirit of that time. You should be proud of this.
Susan Esbensen replied:
Thank you Jim. It was not what I initially intended, but I do like the outcome. Its dark, abstracted nature!
