"And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace."
~Romans 11:6
The goldleaf on the wings really sets this one off. Today is my daughter's 18th birthday. It just seems like yesterday that she was born. This girl has her coloring - blonde hair and brown eyes.
Remember the beginning of Forrest Gump where the white feather floats all around?
I do like to put bits of poetry on my work. This is another with the wings theme. Can't seem to get away from that lately, although I'm not sure what it means. I have a friend that read some of my poems once. She said, "I'm particularly drawn to your women's poetry. We need lots more of it to make up for all we have forgotten." That idea really stuck with me. Apparently, it has popped up on this piece.
I'm really enjoying these mixed media pieces. Learning how to use all the new media is an adventure!
