I am a John Lennon admirer and live by his song Imagine…absolutely against all genocide, starvation, & wars & most aggressive forms of domestic violence or the absurd tailgaitors who come just too close to clipping your vehicle as they pass you on hairpin curves…
What would you do with $25,000?Hire someone to help me organize my studio, buy crayons to give to kids when ptg outdoors, and donate a painting to a medical fundraiser for someone who bas no medical insurance and travel to an exotic beautiful off the beaten path to paint people, their humanity, their beautiful differences, and stunning clouds..biggest dream, get an invitation by Lennie Kravitz to come and paint him on his property in South America…why not dream fantastic?
