GOOD VIBRATIONS.

Good Vibrations---textured acrylic on canvas 7x10 inches---€ 100

I grew up in the 60's,--- a turbulent time in some ways, ---a time of change,--- but it was too a time of lightness, laughter,hope,--- and oh the music!!----That crazy rhythm, that resonant beat, a sense of feeling free, and too the strong emerging social awareness that grew with the Peace Songs.

Is it just that i'm no longer 'with it', is it my imagination, or does today's society offer so much less of the lightness and sense of freedom? --- I'm strongly aware of a heaviness, a sense of fear and restriction, a sense of confinement and resignation that so many seem burdened with.Where is that feeling of optimism, joie de vivre, and that deep intrinsic need to 'do one's own thing'? I don't believe it has vanished,--- it's still bubbling away there!

Anyway my painting today echoes the words of the Beach Boys--- and let's keep those Good Vibrations going!!

Turn your face to the sun and the darkness falls behind you.
