“life is supposed to be fun”

Today in Brazil we celebrate the day of the dead… Time to remember the loved ones that left us earlier than we wish they did. Time of longing. I miss my dad and my brother. They crossed over to the other side and they are missed every day since. They are pure positive energy now and I´m sure they are well. It´s this side of the bridge that is less perfect… But we go on and try to make it lighter, colorful. Who do you miss?

Dear Ceci, Cle and Dri
Happy Halloween! Missing you guys and the fun parade from last year!
Esse ano minha fantasia é a vaca! Espero vcs aqui! Bjs!

… and she will be missed!
Life is supposed to be fun. And it is.

This cow is a house. This living room is a cow.
cow = house
muca = abitazione
ko = hus
vaca = casa
[or not]
My art is my home.

My hand is hurting… but my soul is smiling!Â
She´s almost, almost done…

I know I´ll miss her! It´s a lot of work, no doubt about that, but it´s also really cousy to paint her. I´ll definetely miss it!
How about you? Is there something you really miss doing?

I painted for almost 11 hours today! My eyes, hand and arm need some rest… and yet, my heart and soul ask for more!
It´s been so much fun to paint this sculpture! Besides all the daily adversities, life always offers fantastic (and perhaps disguised) presents.
We have to keep an open heart to recognize them… They may look simple or meaningless, but they are definetely up-lifting!
I´m grateful for the gift of painting!
And you? What are you grateful for?

“An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.”   Elbert Hubbard (1856 – 1915)

One can never regret being truthfull. Sometimes life seems unfair and it looks like the liers will get away with it…
But no. Time is wise and love, success and happyness is the ultimate destination for those with truth and loyalty at heart.
Art is not yet providing the bread, but it will. Art is saving me. But who´s gonna save you from your own lies?
