I am a wannabe rainbow child of the sixties!

I admit it! I am a wanna be rainbow child of the sixties! I began painting twenty two years ago by selecting the colors I was attracted to. As it turned out, it was all the colors of the rainbow that I was attracted to and it has stayed that way. I am stuck on the rainbow colors. No other colors interest me much. All of my paintings consist of the rainbow colors with the exception of some black and white mixed in at times.

Having been born in 1956, I was still quite young during the sixties and missed out on the sixties hippie scene. I think I would have loved being a part of it though.

I did actually dress up as a sixties hippie rainbow child for halloween a few years ago. Then I got in my 1963 Red VW bug and drove to a Halloween party.
I sure had lots of fun pretending to be a hippie rainbow child of the sixties. I never wanted that party or that part of myself to end!

At least I do have the sixties house, don't you think? Fortunately the house is hidden deep in the forest with no neighbors to complain about my paint job.

Even though I missed the hippie rainbow child scene of the nineteen sixties, I do very much enjoy living in my sixties house and driving my sixties car. And I did recently complete a Rainbow Woman painting to honor that part of myself!
