One day I was feeling that I had to express myself and I was feeling, you know, about to explode because I did not know what to do with myself. Someone had given me a boatload of acrylic paints and brushes for some reason so I thought, “Well, I think I should make the most of these.

Who knows!
I made a few more paintings and then decided to retire (?) and move to Florida near other family members, namely my daughter and granddaughter. Things have not turned out so great but we are still here working, doing, and living. I decided to paint the following:
