Girl with Bluebird :: 12"x12" Mixed Media
"…we usually select the known, seldom the strange. We tend not to choose the unknown which might be a shock or a disappointment or simply a little difficult to cope with. And yet it is the unknown with all its disappointments and surprises that is the most enriching." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh
wow. she looks so soft and peaceful today.
i know it’s true but god it’s hard.
Along those lines, I came across this quote:
“In every instant, two gates. One opens to fragrant paradise, one to hell. Mostly, we go through neither.” – Jane Hirshfield.
But what’s NOT unknown?
oh i love her little dress…and the bird in her hair.
thank you for sharing the wonderful quote as well…
I so needed to read this quote tonight. Glad I came across your page!
I’ve been trying to select more of the strange lately. It’s fun! Love your art
