My Life's Abstractions / Part 1 & 2

Title: What can you see?
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Part 1 of 8 .. of My Life's Abstractions

You will only see what I want you to see. At my age, I have realized and accepted that there are a lot of stuff that I may never have; there are things that I can never do; and that who I am now is all that I'll ever be. At this age, I am limited by my talent, financial capabilities, physical disabilities or handicap, lack of opportunity or missed opportunities; even limited by “connections” - who's who, whom I've never met nor will ever meet... and for lack of time.

That man is you... trying to see me, but you will only see what I want you to see.


Title: Sunlight
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Part 2 of 8 .. of My Life's Abstractions

Have you heard the song “Save the Sunlight” by Lani Hall, or “Like a Lover” by Sergio Mendez, “Sunlight” by Kevin Lettau and Tower of Power's “You Can't Fall Up”. These are just some of my favorite songs. What do these songs have in common? They are songs about love and life. How the sun, the moon , the stars become your most loved one. .. and how one cannot fall up , but just fall down.

The sunrise and the sunset are the most used subjects in paintings. As I see the sun over the horizon, I feel His presence, His omnipotence. I feel His love through those beautiful 'picture-perfect' sunsets... and after the long dark lonely night, He wakes me up and showers me with His love through a most magnificent sunrise.
