They resonate with me. I especially connect with your understanding that all is transitory and moving - the highs and the lows. What a nice surprise to flip over your painting to see that she's in flight.

This most recent piece--riding the wave--touches me at a very deep place. A "simple" change in point of view invites us to consider, as you said, that the very wave we were struggling with, and felt as if we were drowning because of, is actually lifting and propelling us . . . makes me want to wander my house and turn all my artwork upside down and see what I see!!aquamaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368274520999097910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-81564574242767919002009-02-04T09:56:00.000-05:002009-02-04T09:56:00.000-05:00no parden needed. it is brilliant!no parden needed. it is brilliant!tekealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06624164330376848455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-30947773908028563872009-02-04T07:18:00.000-05:002009-02-04T07:18:00.000-05:00I find this painting exceedingly exhilarating!
