I'm was glad to have wine collector buddies as I was working on this piece. More and more, I'm painting with no sketch at all, just letting it flow. A good time was had by all, even the flowers :)
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us. ~Iris Murdoch
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
