Pilgrimage

thank you so much Martilena, you were the very first person to comment too!!! i much appreciate that !! :D

thank you so very much sylvia :D
i am very grateful for your comments !

yes, it looks rather comfy hey Sal!! i reckon that she’s probably sitting on a royal cushion or two, wth a red blanky for warmth later on when the chill of the evening sets in…she’s just setting out, i wonder how many water lillies she’ll see along the way …i hope many, :D

yes, yes, a favourite old story of mine that one… yes…it’s typically about myself and my own journey and really, it encompasses everyone….the moment we realise life is taking us somewhere, that we are ever on a journey…..this is the moment of realisation about that, and her embarking on the journey, knowingly and acknowledging that through her preparedness…..by donning the crown, the bindi, taking on board wisdom, etc….she has taken the symbolic things that will get her through….everything here is imbued with meaning, which is in the description… i guess it’s a lot about self-realisation :D

thank yo so much for your lovely comments :D

oh yes, he doesn’t wish to get wet!!!
thank you very much zomboy!! :D

thank you so very much Ellen, yes, the animal is a squirrel/cat hybrid :D full of wisdom….. so glad you enjoyed viewing “Pilgrimage” .... she is a princess too, most definitely, as all women and girls are in my mind…

... i think they are looking out on the whole wide world as they embark on their maiden voyage, the girl has just made the realisation that life is a journey, and she is now an active participant in the journey, with her she takes very little, and yet, everything one really needs, wisdom, a fresh start, a new attitude, a calm day heralded by a red sky….there she sits as she launches her little dinghy…looking out upon everyone else in the world…she is saying I’m on my way now peoples…i’ve realised My Journey Begins Here…and from hereon i will acknowledge everything as significant and look for ways to improve myself and my view on life. I will seek actively to grow and to learn from life’s lessons through the journey i know embark upon

..i took the old one down now, it was still up until i made sure this one was correct….thanks so muchly fa!!

thank you so much Lori…it’s like a cross between a squirrel and a cat i guess? so glad you like it! ...love your poem!

Ah you are another person who uses symbolism a lot in your work Mui-Ling….
yes, there is a calmness about a red sky,
i love it when the sky is a light blue below and a dark blue above (like twilight) and the stars are twinkling with the moon out…that’s my favourite sky of all…and all clear with no clouds :D

hi Steven,
thank you!!

oh thank you very much Katz41, that’s lovely :D

thank you so much Ana :D

hi colin,
you are so kind and very sweet,
thank you so much for the lovely comments…i can see you love drawing boats and other things too…they are beautiful indeed!!!!.
i am so sorry to hear of your illness
and eyesight failing….i think it’s wonderful that you are painting and photographing your way through it…My doctor says that painting puts us on another plane, where we can become less aware of pain, both physical and emotional… hugs, k

Hi Nira,
thank you so much :D
You are too kind…

hehe…umm well i think you could just about put it anywhere georgiegirl, it always makes me feel grounded for some reason, i have the original mounted in a white matt, in a white box frame, with a stunning dark blue wall behind it….it’s the nicest thing in my home by far…it hangs above an old timber cupboard, where i have similar coloured trinkets such as my kokeshi doll and little folk art painted drawers, a a beautiful palm husk timber lamp from Indonesia…..a lovely japanese print from my sister, and a beautiful chinese paper cut from an old friend ….... it’s such a nice warm collection, and I would find it so hard to let go of the original, but can always replace with a red bubble print i guess :D xoxo

thank you so much Alf, glad you do!! :D

thank you so much sparkles, i know you’ve been uploading some beautiful work, am hoping to get to it very soon!

thank you so much Ellen!! they are very strong but i’m glad you like ‘em :D

aw nah…my mum n dad gave em to me…they are tiny little ceramic square drawers x 4 in a timber frame…so sweet….i love little things like this…yes, you’re right i might just always keep that original…there is something about this that feels so sentimental :D xoxoxo
