The Creator Breath has spoken to me in deep repose and has whispered in my ear that my thoughts are like seeds. Which thoughts I water will bear fruit. And what fruit I bear will either be sweet or sour, good or bad depending on which tree I water. When I was young I met an old Indian man whose wisdom was as deep as the ocean. I asked him how to travel the right road? How to know what to do? And how to be a good man? The wise elder said, ” I have two dogs who live inside of me. One who is good and one who is bad. These two dogs constantly fight with each other. Each trying to win my thoughts, my heart and my soul”. I was astonished by his simple words and then I asked him the all important question, “Which one wins?” He paused and thought for a moment and then said, “The dog I feed.” visionary imagist “Joey”

Tabitha B

Wow, stunning image, fantastic creation!!
AbyssalSoul
man, I love the descriptions. Many say they don’t read ‘em, I say they can add a lot to the image and be as important! Somehow, I felt this is also the internal struggle humanity has with nature… and how things are usually solve by humans. All in all, I really like it but I’m having trouble to find the proper words to express what I’m thinking. Great job. Seriously!
andrea verstegen
great idea for a painting….now I’m wondering if you actually came across a gnarled branch and saw in it, these two figures as a vision.
Janette Dengo
This is most amazing… I just love the entire piece….

luckydog
Oh wow, this is just amazing. It’s probably my favourite out of some of the work I’m seen. It’s so dark and organic what’s there not to love? The introduction to the artwork just enriches the imagery. Sorry, I’m really having trouble conveying the reasons why I like this so much.
You have a talent there, that’s for sure

a very powerful piece. the struggle is vividly depicted. i love the background colors. you’re accompanying writing is very thoughtful. i love it.
Wendy Slee
I love this story…..I have heard it before as the story of the two wolves, but I took in its metaphor and wanted to take it in as my truth…....
- a long time ago, while going through a very tough time, I started seeing the two wolves and it was the “white” wolf that lead me through it….and to this day, the art I created from this discovery still hangs on my bedroom wall…a reminder….
I love to see the honoring of this powerful story in your work….. so well done!
VisionaryImagist
jackie; Thank you for taking the time to stop by and to comment on my oil painting. Stop back anytime and again thank you.

Cherie Dirksen
Amazing piece of art!
Adam Stone
This is excellent, and i adore the darker tones. The way the roots attack each other is genius and is executed with a masterful hand. The details of the bark are brilliantly done too, twisting and wrapping in a hostile yet natural way. Lovely.
Heather Rivet...
outstanding
TingyWende
Well I’m not going to philosophically analyze this. I’m just going to admire and enjoy it! Beautifully created.

helene ruiz
wow! this is absolutely fantastic!
Ashley DeRossett
This is one of the best pieces on the inner struggle I have ever seen! I’m reading a book right now that is touching on this very topic. Ironic, but I believe there are always two personalities in constant struggle within us. I am criticised for being, ” Too nice…”, “Too goodhearted..” But I know the ones who say these words to me are more tuned into the darker side of this fight! And I ignore them, because there is no such action as “Too nice!”
Anyway this made me think, and I truly love this image! Great Work!
louise linskill

Hello again
Fantastic colour combination, Joey.
“thoughts are like seeds”... So correct…
your work fits so well with the text.
Let us control those right seeds… and let others NOT PLANT, unnecessary seeds in our brain.
Regards from here.
Donna Raymond
nice work!!!
