Unity
31 x 28 inches
acrylic on wood
sealed and ready to hang
SOLD The quote on this painting says: "I think about how all rivers flow to one sea, and I wonder if this one thought could take flight in the whiteness of a dove." It is from a poem by my friend, Sally Renata, a noted South Carolina poet, fellow folk artist, and all around interesting person. Thanks, Sally!

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.”
