Six paintings today. 10,000 in five years. Each one is a prayer. Click on any of the featured images to view the gallery.
8,120 Soul Portraits to go!
My Family, Brothers and Sisters,
Each painting is an invitation. Please RSVP here.
Just write invitation accepted. A million Jews and a million Arabs will dance the Dance of Dances (AGAIN, who knew?). When?
I do know where. Jerusalem. The Jerusalem stones will rock with the singing and dancing, psalm writing, trumpets, flutes, drums and horns. The city has been silent for two-thousand years, having sung mightily for a thousand years before. And will again.
When you RSVP – bring your joy to town – include two words and we are ready to go. The two words are enough and will stand for two vows, two sentences. The words are love and forgiveness.
When we speak of love and forgiveness the problem is solved, the so-called problem. It is not complicated. You are not the enemy – I am not yours. We are brothers and sisters, Jews and Arabs.
RSVP and you’ll have the keys to the kingdom. Come to a fine celebration for joy and peace in the land of Israel.
If you want, come and add to the dance, come, have a birthday, have a reunion, have a wedding…it will be stupendous, outrageous at times – the not possible will of course happen. The angels will dance with us.
Faithfully yours,
Daniel
To find our joy we need to heal, be healed and forgive. 8,120 paintings to go (of the 10,000). Find the painting that speaks to you, for you.
10 Thousand Souls 
Dear Daniel, as I gaze the faces you’ve most recently shared, I again see much joy in the eyes and on the lips of many (soul 1875 first struck me as particularly playful). But then, I keep gazing and I perceive very different emotions just as clearly, in the same faces. Each soul has so many stories to tell. At any moment, we are composed of so many layers. All true. I love that these eyes you paint, convey and reflect all of that.
Peace.
