'I hardly recognise myself' - a new mixed media painting. This one will be offered as a print in my autumn selection.
You may 'recognise' the experience of not recognising yourself. For me, I still feel twentysomething but when I look in the mirror there is this slightly older person. She sort of looks young but not that young. It is a jolt of recognition, that glance in the mirror, seeing but not quite believing.....

I guess our soul never change, it will always be young and feel young. looking in the mirror, we must look past the little wrinkles and through our eyes. the little girl is still there hiding behind the passing of time. sorry for my poor english, i sometimes have some difficulties finding the right words to express myself.
i just love your painting, but then, i love all that you do.

Thank you Monique, no need to apologise, you express things very well
I am so happy I have found your site .
I love your creativity and it helps me feel less cut off on this quiet hill in Brittany.
I love my life here but I do miss the artistic stimulation I used to have.
I am of an age where I keep seeing my mother in the mirror and hearing her when I'm talking to my kids. Spooky stuff. You capture that feeling well!
thank you Pilgrim and projectforty - good to hear from you and thanks for sharing your words. Yes I can relate...
You have touched on my creative obsession. Buds bloom fade and wilt...
Of course we are as young as we feel. I also think in the terms that I still look as I used to, but at this age...49...eeek!!...that is not so important to me. It's what inside.
Your pieces really touch my heart, they speak volumes.
Oh how i can relate to that lately. :-S I love the sad faces and the warm colors that brings some comfort.
