What is true?
Prologue:
Life is about meanings – meanings are feelings
Meredith wrote an important one about what is real. It made me cry and laugh – I know what that means even though my pain is lesser and my path is different.
It was strong feeling, strong moment.
As I said in the later comment this morning (my time) I usually just hatch the feelings way too much. This time I took them and started painting.

Reality is like truth: they don’t exist but they are both real and true.
In my reality I have had to give birth to baby that had no possibility to live outside womb. It is as horrible as it sounds, jet still it was in a way beautiful too. I have had these reds and browns of blood in my head since. I have started to paint them out numerous time never getting it out.
This morning it was all done, all ready, to come out as I finally stopped standing in the way and let my hands do the work. This says all about the day and there is not more I want to say about this subject. This is truth of what I experienced, the best way I can describe it.

Epilogue
Art is not for sissies
After releasing the image all of the other abandoned images inside me started to yell, jump and waiwe their hairy little emotions in a line wanting to be first to come out. I was supposed to grocery shopping. Instead I had something more important to say.

This is very sweet, powerful and sad all at the same time. I”m sure it was therapeutic and a perfect way to share your feelings.
Aren’t alcohol inks fun? I love the transparency.
Forgot to say how much I liked the feather in the first piece. I could tell in the second one, it was all you!
Jeanne,
Yes, the feather is me – all me. Way back in history you knew my voice even before I did: you acknowledged it every time you heard it so that I could regonize it.
Alcohol inks are definately my medium! Dry quickly enough for me to be able to layer them as I go. Are half about technique: knowing reactions, playing with wet on wet, wet on dry, drop on or brush on… Scraping the board is interesting too, it gives the work some dimension and detail not possible with inks otherwise.
