| "His Best Self", Acrylic On 14 X 18 Canvas |
It's been awhile since I posted on this particular blog but I thought this was the most appropriate place to share with you my latest painting and wish a Happy 66th Birthday to its subject, the one and only Rick Springfield.
Rick Springfield is a lot more to me (and many others) than just that good looking guy who had a hit with "Jessie's Girl" back in the 80's. He is a gifted songwriter, an amazing musician and performer, an engaging actor and a compelling storyteller. His music, creativity and persistence in the face of personal and professional obstacles have inspired and motivated me throughout my life. I am so glad he is in this world.
Rick is currently starring on the big screen with Meryl Streep in the movie "Ricki and The Flash" and recently had a role in HBO's True Detective. You can also catch him performing his music on tour and he has a new album coming out soon, I can't wait!
By the way, the title for my painting came from a recent interview with Rick by ABC Australia that you can find here. There is also an inspiring video with Rick by Rolling Stone that you can find here.
Oh and if you haven't checked out my new home and lifestyle blog, The Cabbage Blog, head on over to Cabagelow.com and give it a look.
As always, thank you for reading.
