With this painting, I am celebrating the waking up to a new day, as many people don't or can't wake up at all. When you loose people from your friendship circle, it reminds you how tenuous and unpredictable life is. Each day is so precious and a gift from the universe, not to be squandered in superficiality and taking things for granted. I try to spend every minute being alive and appreciative of my good health and the ability to pay artistic tributes to life and nature. My wish for you is to be kind and stay in the moment. The art work is based on nature and the mercurial nature of water, air and earth. The media that is used is acrylic inks, texture gel and oil paint.
