Two Birds

I saw this first artifact in a museum in Turkey. For some reason, I found it alluring and took a picture of it. A few weeks later, I saw the same allure lying on the Via Sacra by the Arch of Titus in Rome. Does art imitate life or does life imitate art?

I like your new art work illuminating "sometimes it takes creating to understand what it means to be created". The jagged mouth of the shadow is really interestin.
I told you that before, life imitates art and vice versa. It is really eerie!

My husband thinks it looks like Chinese Chicken Taco.

I love your new blog look. When art imitates life, it makes it look more beautiful!

Aww! You're leaving me a message!

I ♥:

the smell of wet asphalt, hedges, stepping on dry crunchy leaves, red brick walls, cool breezes on a warm day, the warmth of the sun on a cold day, writing my name into a new book, singing, the process of getting to know a person, paper, hand-written notes from friends, subtlety, being driven around (as opposed to driving), brown paper bags, blowing dandelions, my friends being happy, writing with a pencil, making people laugh, holding a warm mug when it is cold, drinking tea, sticking my face out the window of a moving car, being barefoot & in pajamas, the fact you've read this far.
