She wasn't being sneaky in the least.
It was he who was being deceptive and cruel.
So on this crisp November night she kept a promise to herself as she walked away for good under the illuminating guidance of the full moon.
Her conscience was as clear as her big, green eyes.
She never once looked back.

Joanie Mitchell. Don't you think she looks like her?
Good that she took her courage with her. The future is bright.
Love your blog dearest friend. xoxo
What a story.... you know, Lo, you are quite the Storyteller as well as a divine artist!
ReplyDeleteI love the background...the Winter Moon, the barren trees.....as for the girl, she does look a bit like Joni Mitchell, but to me really resembles the actress (sorry, just can't think of her name) who was in "Good Will Hunting"..... no matter, she has a haunting face....it's a haunting painting!
Love,

It looks to me to be at least partly self portrait, as the eyes look just like yours. And it's very good!
ReplyDeleteIf she needed to leave,,,and could only do it by sneaking,,,then good for her!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING LOLO!
What beautiful work.

600 glorious times you have touched so many many hearts...this piece speaks volumes on so many levels. Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece! Her expression is lovely. I also really like the background - muted, so they don't overtake the woman, but the composition is so nice!
