About the art: this one was a journey, heavily influenced by the odd light of a sun straining through smoke-choked skies, painting in rooms with eerie glows and haze. Acrylic on wood panel which had been pre-gesso'd to an ultra smooth finish. The requisite 80 million layers are included in this piece.

Jen, if Goliath's wife were to be at some gathering which I was attending, without any knowledge of who she was or was not, I would make a beeline to her to make her acquaintance. Her angularity and sharp chin speak of soft intelligence, spontaeous laughter, magnetic cynicism, wholeheartedness, attunement. The bird would laugh with us.

Oh Dotty...I could read your words again and again! Thank you, sweet friend! The bird is laughing at how much I am enjoying your comment. :)

Amazing portrait both of the strong woman and the bird! Strong poem! Not quite sure of its true meaning, hearing a lament, probably stuck with the Bible story.

Hey Carol! Thank you!!! I believe the poet wrote this piece after she was widowed. She has a series of poems about "the widow", which I imagine are auto-biographical, but somehow mange to feel timeless. :)
