We risk all the Beauty and Elegance of this Earthy Life by Non Love. My Paintings and Songs are my offering towards the Healing of our Planet. Let Us Celebrate Life. Trust, Love, Dance, Paint, Laugh and Believe.  Let’s let the Breath of Life Harmonize Us in this Creative Universe. In Awe, Let us Share the Fullness of the Sacred Flame.”

After cleaning the chair for a few hours, I decided on painting it with oil paints.  That is my main media.  I paint in the spirit of the moment, so I just went with the flow….after painting aqua it felt natural to pair it with magenta.
