I really enjoyed your writing about the girl with the glass of water. I spent about 10 years reproducing that particular painting, “Luncheon of the Boating Party”. It took a long time because I was pregnant during some of the time and stopped to care for babies or moved the painting because of toxic oil colors. Mine was the exact size of the original, which I have now seen, but hadn't when painting...about 6 feet by 4 feet. A large painting like that, especially a reproduction, involves lots of introspection.
I appreciate your perspective right now. You see both sides of the table (the story and the silence) and have made the in-between beautiful. I always say that in-between place is like a sunset. Not dark and not light...they are coming together in perfect harmony.
Not many can find this harmony but I am not surprised that you have.
Your writing always inspires. Thank you for sharing it.
