I'm a huge fan of pop art, though I don't do much of it. This is another painting based on the idea that we all have a life-giving river flowing from within.
I once read about a woman seeing a message sprawled on a Paris sidewalk. It said, "The city of Paris is full of beautiful mysteries, and you are one of them." I never forgot that story. I began to think how wonderful it would be to spread love and joy by writing beautiful messages on sidewalks with chalk. That idea has evolved into the original poetry I often include on my art, and is the reason I call myself “The Sidewalk Chalk Prophet.”
The most an aritst can do through their work is say, "Let me show you what I have seen, what I have loved, and perhaps you will see it and love it too." ~Annie Bevan
