Celebration!

"Celebration" 12x36 Acrylic
The reasons to celebrate are many and certainly vary with intensity as we experience our own life cycles and challenges. Have any of you seen and remember the movie Wild in The Streets? It was basically about a youth movement to overthrow the older establishment. Thirty becomes a mandatory retirement age, while those over 35 are rounded up, sent to "re-education camps", and permanently dosed on LSD. The movie came out in 1968, I was 17 years old (need I say more) and thought why not, 35 was way too old anyway.
Fast forward to.......how about that Mayan calendar thing? December 21, 2012 has come and gone with no Apocalypse and no end of the World. Turns out their stone tablet was just too small to continue any further, bummer. We obviously have all survived this momentous occasion, I made it through the sixties, along with all of its experimentations and am now in my 60's.
I just celebrated another birthday yesterday, you do the math and am happy that the planet has survived as well as myself. Many transitions, challenges and opportunities later, I'm happy where I'm at and love what I am doing. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I've left you with "Celebration", an image of mine to bring in the New Year. Or it could be the end of the world.......what do you see?
Enjoy & thanks for stopping by........Jim
