    loneliness
    is neither here
    nor there
    loneliness
    can find you
    almost anywhere…

    I love that image, warm, earthy tones, nurtured and protected by mother nature, if by nobody else.

    not at all Butchy boy – you’re much more than a talking head…..right?..

    I was originally going to make this about an Irish legend – Deirdre of the Sorrows (which is very obviously about loneliness, pain, loss, etc.), but If you look at her face – you can see a calmness and happiness that is so beautiful – I felt it was appropriate to celebrate that…and of course – it reflects where I am at in life perfectly (and of course – everything an artists does is really a self-portrait anyway…)

    but do you own the first four jefferson airplane albums…...better yet grace slick’s solo album (most under rated female album of the 70’s in my opinion) ... “manhole?”

    Is her serenity her acceptance?

    Love the layers. The scratchings in the back almost remind me of glyphs.

    Wonderful, dear.

    Bravo. She apspears so well connected with her inner self. I sense she has fought a tough war to reach this state of such peace and the solitude, so grateful recieved, has not come without cost. Thankfully it has been worth it….

    A beautiful image as always Thomas.
