"Happy Anniversary," 7.5" x 10.5" ink and watercolor on Yupo hot press paper
I heard this poem below ("Recipe for Perfect Happiness") recited on the radio today by the late Lawrence Ferlinghetti today, the darling poet of San Francisco, who died recently at 101. (I'm so glad we went to City Lights Bookstore last year to help celebrate his 100th birthday. What interesting people were there to sign his giant BD card!)
It's a beautiful poem. And I think it goes quite well with today's artwork, which is based on a photo of a bouquet of flowers given to us in January to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. Our happiness, too, has been greatly enhanced by boulevards of trees, cafes in the sun, and strong black cups of coffee.
Recipe for Happiness - Lawrence Ferlinghetti
One grand boulevard with trees
with one grand cafe in sun
with strong black coffee in very small cups.
One not necessarily very beautiful
man or woman who loves you.
One fine day.
