Quietude

quietude - a state of stillness, calmness and quiet in a person or place.

there is much to be said for keeping your mouth shut at the proper times. i am of course only saying this to myself, not to you, dear blog readers.

Resilience

I am always impressed by the resilience of life, by the blade of grass that grows between two rocks. Where there is determination and will, there is a way, right?

Considering Death

We should consider death every day. And this is not the same as considering suicide. Death is the thing that is coming so act accordingly. Do not step back, do not give up on what you really want, do not waste time on what if. These are things i do not do. So i am starting to consider death, to give it just cause.

Beauty = Fleeting

Illustration Friday - Contained

The portraits Klimt did of his lover, Adele, looked like he had her wrapped up and flattened in gold, contained (?) by circles and squares. i tried to get that same feel with my girl.
