“667. Light on the Earth” Oil painting by Mariko Irie
We are going to have a collaborate show with College of Redwoods, Edgewater Gallery, Partners Gallery and us/ Northcoast Artists Gallery in Fort Bragg, in March 7 – March 30.
I’m going to participate the show with this painting “Light on the Earthâ€.
The theme is “Back To Basicsâ€.
My “back to basic†is that John Lennon sang the song for us in 1971.
 “Imagine”
Imagine there’s no heaven     It’s easy if you try
No hell below us      Above us only sky
Imagine all the people     Living for today…
Imagine there’s no countries     It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for      And no religion too
Imagine all the people     Living life in peace…
You may say I’m a dreamer      But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us      And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions      I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger     A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people      Sharing all the world…
You may say I’m a dreamer     But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us       And the world will live as one
 All of us know that we are a part of nature, universe, isn’t it?
The location of this painting “Light on the Earth†is in Albion CA. The downtown of Albion is very basic. There are several houses, one market, one gas station and one post office. That’s it. And surrounded by this beautiful universe.
