    “It wasn’t supposed to be like this” – what an intensely powerful title. For me, it immediately conjured up a memory – seeing the Loving Spoonful perform “You didn’t have to be so nice”. There’s something gentle, something sweetly melancholic about the music which I also see in your tender, vulnerable SP.

    “You came upon a quiet day
    You simply seemed to take your place
    I knew that it would be that way
    The minute that I saw your face”

    Perhaps there’s no truly literal connection – I think it’s the beauty of art – how an image can be linked in the viewers heart with a song.

  • Laurie Search replied

    I’ll have to go look up that song now….I’m honored that this image brought back some good memories for you, and brought a song to mind…I actually am hugely inspired by music, so it is very fitting.

    Reminds me that Í never was the daughter my mum wanted!
    I was always like a boy, hated dresses and behaved like a boy. I wasn´t supposed to be like this!

  • Laurie Search replied

    Oh, I’m so sorry for your pain…..and for reminding you of bad times…but I AM glad that my photo moved you enough to comment…So thank you so much for that. :)

    I like the artwork. It touches the viewer and pulls the emotion out. We can feel the anguish. I think real art touches the viewer and leaves them either inspired or makes a connection. When we get cut off from our selves art can bring us back to ourselves. Sharing your experiences and emotions can help others to get in touch with their stuck emotions.. Art is frees and heals. Way to go. This is art

  • Laurie Search replied

    What a wonderful comment and beautiful compliment you have given me!!!! Thank you so very much for this! I am very, very touched!!!! xo
