"To walk inside yourself and meet no one for hours - that is what you must be able to attain. To be solitary as you were when you were a child, when the grownups walked around involved with matters that seemed large and important because they looked so busy and because you didn't understand a thing about what they were doing." - Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet --- Painted from life with acrylic on tarpaulin, now updated to find its home on-chain. "I love my Body" series celebrates our bodies in quick gestures--passing moments that say "This is me, I am. " This work is part of the Everything Passes Collection: Paintings exploring passing moments in life, the big and small of the everyday: our bodies, quiet victories, relationships up close, beauty around us.
