“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.” - Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet --- Painted from life with acrylic on wood, 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.
