Ode to the Seventies

Psychedelic colors run rampant through the mind. Acid trips, Timothy Leary, Hippies, Make love not war, free love, far-out, groovy, Jimmy Hendrick, Janis Joplin, Woodstock, long hair, flower child.....all of this and more. The late 60's and early 70's was an era of social change from the clothes we wore to the the art and designs we saw everyday. Music from the Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones, Deep Purple and many more used designs such as this to express the mind expansion.

I started this piece 5 years ago, and come across it last week. Why I sat it aside, I don't know. I am glad that I have completed it and don't strain your eyes too much looking at it.
