Below I posted Chris' paintings. The last month in the clinic (before he moved to Kindred) he decided "Why not" to Art Therapy.

(31,205 posts)but he hasn't left us. Our memories is what he left behind. We're all better for his contributions.
I didn't know him and occasionally ran across his posts.......I thought his posts were very insightful, informative and objective.
RIP

(18,115 posts)Due to my own personal hang ups on mortality, I especially avoid posting tribute and loss threads.
However, seeing work created as one faces their own mortality has also stirred me. Thank you for posting. His simple works moved me.
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,699 posts)And he did face his own mortality, over many years, but esp. these last 16 months.
He always said to live in the moment, since he never knew when his last moment would come.
I am glad his works moved you, my dear morningfog...

Thanks for posting these, my dear Peggy! They're really wonderful! What a nice memory to have of our friend WCGreen.
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,699 posts)There's one (I think, the round one) is a silk-screen.
His wife had posted them on Facebook, and I wanted all of you to see them too.
I agree: they make a great memory of him.

(7,906 posts)beautiful voice singing beautiful songs on youtube.
Such a talent, and such a beautiful spirit.
His music was very comforting to me.
I am so very sorry for your loss, Peggy.
I am keeping you, his wife Laurie, his family and many friends, in my thoughts, and I wish you all peace in this difficult time.
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,699 posts)I am so grateful to him for having recorded himself singing and playing.
Funny, I spent part of today listening to a couple of those YouTubes too.
