Monterey Jazz Festival 1969

Acrylic on canvas.

30x40"

I call this beauty
“Monterey Jazz Festival 1969.”

Reference is Photography by Baron Wolman

Everyone has heard and said the classic quote
“I was born in the wrong time” “I was born in the wrong era” “I was born in the wrong generation.”
But God intended to have us in the right place and right time always. That adds much more appreciation on the lives lived, not shared but lived. To understand there has been 365 days for yearly every soul, the time passes but somehow a piece of them. A piece of them always remains. I value the elders and worlds prior to mine. To somehow have this internal longing for something you know is missing in your way of living. I saw this photo of The Monterey Jazz Festival
The colors, the way I can hear and feel all that’s around. It makes me feel hopeful than ever, pictures that bring life to me. A reminder of what life is. Time traveling through a photo.
Last slide is reference!
