I love beautiful dresses. I don't wear them. I never have. I would have loved to. But I love to look and adore. I imagine myself being 20 again wearing one. So next best thing is to live through my daughters. Our son won't wear them either. Tee Hee!
I wanted to post these and confess I am neither tortured nor have some angry angst. I love all things beautiful whether it's clothing, furniture, the way a lawn is manicured or how a blanket is folded over a chair, dishes displayed, laundry neatly piled after folding. I believe in reference for every task. This rant went further than just prom dresses! But sometimes experiences make me feel like I need to apologize for myself and my "provincial tastes". Man, what brought this on! I think this all came about from recently checking out the arts district in Culver City, CA. What a charming and very hip area! So cool! Young people defining themselves and how they live. And I felt like a duck out of water. I felt very "out of touch". I just need to get out of my "cow town" more often. What a great place to visit! Now I have work to do to try and be more sophisticated.
Great post! Lovely paintings.
ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely. Thanks, Peggi.
ReplyDeleteYour work is truthful and timeless.. It's filled with your heart.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for those words! I have often been accused of being too sentimental. Oh well.

You are one of the most sophisticated people I know, expressed through the honesty and directness of your work. That's why artists love you.
DeleteI was thinking along the same lines, I am constantly visually stimulated and perfection is all around. Getting it on canvas...thinking that it may interest others, that is my first stutter. Julie Wende
