I painted this while sitting at the Home Show a few weekends ago. It's always nice to do an indoor show because of "climate control"!

Commissioned Boots
This may be the most interesting "canvas" I've ever been asked to paint on, and that's saying a lot for this folk artist! They came out so well, I've decided I'm going to paint at least one of the three pairs of boots I have in my own closet.

Mother Ocean
acrylic on skim board
My favorite towel for packing my art is yellow and white striped, so I thought I'd include it in this painting.
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
