We’ve all seen him. On some lazy afternoon when you’re flipping through the channels and you happen to get the PBS station, where there is a middle aged white man with an afro to rival anyone of the Jackson Five’s. He’s painting some sort of nature scene and all the while talking quietly and gently about happy bushes, lonely trees and the squirrels he lives with. I quote, “If you’ve never lived with a squirrel, you’ve never lived.” What a statement… His most famous mantra, the one that makes most people realize his wisdom, “We don’t make mistakes, we just have happy accidents” is simply beautiful. He had a great love for the other creatures on this earth, and preserved some of the world’s beauty in his paintings.
Thanks Bob!
