Living here at the beach, I get requests for lighthouses and such. This little doodle was painted "while you wait" at the House of Blues.
"From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
