(Painting this I loved the
expression on the little girl's
face, and all the small
details that are so characteristic
of what young boys like --
Super Mario T-shirts, camp
necklaces, big, clunky black
watches -- it made me miss
my sons as small boys.)

Oprah's 2020 Vision tour, and they talked about
purpose. I think that my purpose is to create hope,
spread love, joy and when I'm in person with
friends, family, colleagues and students, to
help us all get to laughter.
My purpose is to help us get happy. But sometimes
this is really hard. It's hard to see the light with
Australia burning and the threat of a full scale
war in the middle east. But we have to keep working
on it. We have to vote for people who care more
about climate change than money for oil, who care
about saving the planet. And we have to end all war
everywhere.
I mean as an 18 year old I marched for peace. Let's
get some.
Great, and timely, words of encouragement, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteFound out yesterday that Trump will be holding a rally 10 miles from my house later this month, which initially filled me with dread. Then I realized it's an opportunity: have been connecting with others and making signs ever since.
Love the painting. The little girl looks so eager and the boy is so sweet.
Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Be careful please. I love your work. This isn't a good photo of
this painting. But now 10+ years on, I wonder how they are doing, and what
they think of the world.
Please keep posting your beautiful and inspiring work.
XOXOXOXOXOXO Barbara
