I accomplished almost exactly nothing today-- at least to all appearances!-- but it was just that kind of a day, and I had to go with the flow. I just had to upload one of these gorgeous images I've been putting in my 'Art By Others' folder tonight. They are so inspiring.
Peter max takes me back to a time I cherish, having been a hesitant child of the '60s who only embraced its treasures as the whole wonderful spectacle was winding down in the late 1970s. (I was definitely a late bloomer.) It's his colors that completely entrance me. Actually, they floor me! Loud, neon-bright, maybe, yet there's something so new and fresh and exciting -- even now, decades later -- that looking at many of his works makes my heart beat almost race sometimes with creative excitement and inspiration.
