Christina Major Abstract Paintings

Quotes within painting: "A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you. Do you have to have a reason for loving? It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen. I leave before being left. I decide. I left a world in which I was a queen to enter one in which I'm a human being. I am not an actress. I can only play me - on and off the screen Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it My wild and free side unsettled some, and unwedged others When I love, I do it without counting. I give myself entirely. And each time, it is the grand love of my life I never do anything by chance. People are forever finding something wrong with you. I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy. Success is unpredictable and fragile."

Quotes within painting: "If you don't know a guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he is just like you. He has the same dreams the same hopes and fears. It's one world pal, we are all neighbors. A big lesson in life baby, it's never be scared of anyone or anything. I'm gonna live till I die. The best revenge is massive success. Don't hide your scars they make you who you are. Fear the enemy of logic. There is no more debilitating, crushing , self-defeating, sickening thing in this world to an individual or to a nation. It's Billie Holiday who was and still remains the greatest single musical influence on me. You only go around once, but if you play your cards right, one is enough. Fairytales can come true, it can happen to you if you're young at heart. I'm for anything and for everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow."
