“Self Portrait”- Watercolor on Paper 19” x 29”

In a mirror
I saw my life.
Once upon a time.
I wondered then
What would I be.
Once upon a time.
I had my dreams.
I did my work.
Once upon a time.
And here am I.
I give my gifts.
Upon this world of mine.
The Backstory:
Sitting on the floor before the mirror, I studied the young woman’s reflection. I stilled my mind. I took in a long breath and began to push and pull the wet pigment around on the smooth, wet, cold-press watercolor paper. On my own, single, and jobless, at 20-years-old, in the huge metropolis of L.A., I held onto the one thing I had left ... my creative spirit. I knew everything was going to be ok.
After all, it’s a beautiful life.
