BUBBLES UP

I like to listen to Jimmy Buffett when we drive around with our dogs and the song "Bubbles up" struck me.
It is a reflection of his life, bittersweet but not dark. That's what I like.
While I was painting it I thought about my life like a river with its turns and blockages that is running towards the end we all face. I am a firm believer of making one's life as colorful and exciting as possible. The world is our playground. Play!

My bubbles have life in them even after we pass the threshold to whatever comes next. "Bubbles up" is a tribute to how colorful life can be, if we just let it happen, take our chances, try something new and stay vulnerable. Only then all the colors can unfold in front of us and give us the rainbow to sit on and smile.
