Paul - H - 48X24 When Heaven Came Down Acrylic on Canvas Original (2)

Abstract landscape inspired by the Nemophila flowers in Japan. My work creates awareness of the beautiful world we live in and the frailty of all things beautiful. It encourages to preserve our planet for future generations.  Having traveled the world since the tender age of 56 days old, I count myself as one of the lucky individuals who has had the privilege of seeing the world not just in pictures but in reality.  This spectacle of nature to me depicts a time when "Heaven came down" hence the title of the painting.  I hope to see them in April of 2021 and hopefully the world will open up to travel and we would have found a way to deal with the COVID 19 crisis that is crippling a lot more than just the economy.  Nemophila or Baby Blue eyes are a spring recurrence in Hitachi seaside park.  I cannot wait to see the gardens of Japan that I have only admired on my computer screens in the dead of winter planning a little addition to my spring garden in Dayton OH.  I don't think the beauty of this garden can ever be captured in a painting, but regardless the inspiration for this painting did come from published photographs and then my own imagination added to the mix of the abstract art that resulted in this painting on a cold winter day last year.

Please note that the sale of this original art will generate funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to help raise money for cancer research.  I was introduced to the work of LLS in 2017.  This organization that has climbed up 30 points in one year on the Forbes charity navigator.  It is run by highly competent scientists and physicians who I have personally met.  They believe they can cure cancer within our lifetime, and I agree.  Study and look at the progress they have made since their inception nearly 70 years ago! The cure rate of blood cancers in 1960, the year I was born, was 3%.  Today it is 94%. 

The research continues to happen at a feverish pace all over the world to bridge that gap.  I raise money for Aparna who sadly lost her fight to cancer.  We are losing many more as we speak whose lives have been cut short by these dreadful diseases.  Just within the last week we have lost two of the greats, Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor, to this deadly disease.  Every life is precious.  It is our responsibility to help fund the fight and propel discoveries.  We are the product of such discoveries.  We enjoy a longer life expectancy because of the discoveries of people who came before us.  I am a product of scholarships that were provided to me when I was a young, bright-eyed, enthusiastic PhD student who put in nearly 15 hours a day toward research.  So I ask you unabashedly, on behalf of these scholars who toil, to help find those discoveries that will finally beat cancer.
