Where Have All The Flower Children Gone?

Oil on linen ACM. Inspiration is from the Beatles song Imagine All The People. The Flower Children are were the older people around me when I was a kid, and they stood for the idolized Siri of wearing flowers and handing flowers out to people because they believed in peace and love not war. My inspiration of my bohemian spirit series comes from how violent and mean people have become to each other since Covid. the title of this painting in her represents a Misty abstract flower like background that’s atmospheric representing something that could materialize, but just isn’t it feels like the past. The clothing and hairpiece was designed by Nez to represent the period of the 70s and what they wore including the necklace that my Model made. She is looking at the viewer saying I’m still here but I’m about to leave , she’s taking off in motion to go back to the time. She was from. I leave it up to vera to interpret. Do we bring her back or should she be gone? My goal was to create a fusion of classical with contemporary realism that tells a story.
