As my erotic blog goodgirlturnedslut.blogspot.com kept filling up with my soul business, I decided I might as well make an honest woman of myself and start up this sister blog. You may justifiably ask why it is that I choose to have my soul's business out on the internet. Well, I'm a a ponderer, a thinker, I seek to understand, often too hard. Focusing my mind to wrap this swirl of thoughts into words that might be comprehensible to another human being is incredibly helpful to me. Yes, of course, I could just write a private journal, but actually it's not the same. Knowing that another person, a person I don't even know, may read my words gives it a whole different impetus. I also believe that as human beings we have a deep need to be seen, witnessed, seen for all of who we are. Just the one girl, just the one person. What is more, I love words, I love language, I love taking complex thoughts and feelings and searching for just the right words until I know you can feel what I'm feeling - you can be right there with me and I no longer alone.

Artwork: Lovers I, II and III



















Lovers I - a joy to paint from the beginning, in fact more pleasurable than I expected. Also the painting that the rest of the group felt had the most harmonious composition and the greatest unity. I've nicknamed it: two tadpoles swimming into the sunset - although it could be two comets under an arched sky.




















Lovers II - a nightmare! My plan of whirling shapes resulted in 2 separated irreconcilable spheres, which I simply couldn't get to form a coherent painting. I tried to solve it be dissolving it all into a kind of nothingness until I eventually arrived at this forceful penetrative symbol. Figures! Nicknames for this one - "Dark Matter" or simply "Kaboosh!"




















Lovers III - very pleased with the basic shape and the creative tension/harmony between the lovers. I wasn't expecting it to turn so overtly yin and yang but really love it for that.
