This painting is big. It makes me want to go swimming!

Lots of happy customers lately! I like adult customers, but rarely take their photos! In the second photo, I had to fix the peace signs - I forgot a line, so they looked like Mercedes symbols. Perhaps it was a Freudian slip?
My painting appears on the cover of She Magazine this month. It goes well with their theme of Wise Women for the month of August!
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
