About a year ago, Kamil Kubik died in his sleep. I do miss him so much.He had suffered a terrible stroke andfinally passed away from the complications that he had endured for quite anumber ofyears.I was blessed to be sitting with him the evening he died and will always consider thatto bea gift. I like to think that he knew I was therealthough he was sleeping soundly andcomfortably. I just held onto his hand while he slept. He wasalways filled with such energy but of course sleeping madetime pass. Once he could no longer paint......create these miraculous paintings, I believe he no longer cared much about living.......or dying for that matter He hadenjoyed a remarkable life thatmost people could only dream of living. He painted for Kings, Counts, Movie Starsand Presidents but enjoyed the people he met on the street most of all. As he painted, he wouldhand over his paintbrush to the person watching him paint.....laughing, inviting them to add something of their own to his masterpiece. I am truly stunned at just how much I miss him but he truly was aunique individual.I think his most important legacy to leave behind is not only hisremarkable body of work, but also thishuge, empty space that will forever remain empty. There was nobody like him.He was generous and kind and he was always happy to help anyone that needed him.He had answers to all the problems of the world and planned on fixing every single one of them during his lifetime. Sadly, he was gone before he ever had a chance to try. I have included a bio of his life that you can read if you just scroll down.Happy offerding
