Happy Anniversary

Every 29th of each month I bring a bouquet of flowers to Carol. I painted several versions of HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. In this one I am a little bit irreverent. I always feel myself naked; here I am barefoot in long shirt, just for sake of decency.

I am stretching myself kind of awkwardly, my arm with a bouquet of flowers, to a beautiful bosomed woman, bursting with vitality, full of inner laugh and female power. Well, I can go on and on. For all of us those are magic moments in life; must not forget them; c'est la vie.
