Ma lune est toujour pleine

One of my first paintings, ONCE UPON A TIME is a feast of blues on wool yarn in golden notes. I painted it after the workweek that followed my bear vis-à-vis while camping alone in the wilderness. Still wearing my suit, I celebrated a +400% OCF and a 30% salary raise by painting my own pentagram.

Growing up, my father created stories for me. There were nature, creativity, and no teachings. Just experiences, laughs, colors, everyday extraordinary poetry. I was rarely awake to hear the endings, so the following evening I would create the beginning of the next fable with his unfinished and he'd continue it. When he was away for business, he left his audio recordings, and my mother created more stories from them. With time, the recordings became mixed tapes of everyone's voices, each adding a piece to the story. Just for the fun of it!

Once upon a time, there was a moon always full...C'era una volta, una luna sempre piena....
