I've never much subscribed to the viewpoint of childhood as a time of happy innocence. It is, to some extent, of course, but it is also fraught with dark imaginings and fears and very real sorrows and a limited understanding of how things operate in the big world. There is so much magic afoot, one must tread a little warily. I would say this little fellow is as yet uncertain of this owl (his newly acquired "familiar" and is not yet sure if it can be trusted. He is welcoming it, accepting it, but keeping it at arm's length. <br /><br />Basically, I can't "do" cute.<br /><br />I am happy that you find so much in my simple compositions. You truly know how to look beyond the surface of things--a special gift.Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-79414833565836513962010-10-04T16:18:30.433-03:002010-10-04T16:18:30.433-03:00if you hoped for a HP fan, sorry to disappoint but...if you hoped for a HP fan, sorry to disappoint but i am also in the opposite list - now i can't stop marveling at the painting, there is something unique in the way you manage to capture facial expressions, i am still haunted by the ambiguous bride - and here we have this boy with an ambiguous look on his face, making an ambiguous gesture: what does he think? what does he want from the owl? is he sad? is he full of hope? i see melancholy , i see shyness, i see so many things and imagine so many stories... truly, this is an amazing gift you have, Lynne, to move people's heart so deeply and to suggest so much with so little, with a vagueness which makes our imagination all the more freer and richer...Roxanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650840495095863057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-25537897767792690992010-09-25T00:30:40.810-03:002010-09-25T00:30:40.810-03:00Blue Sky,

I'm sure if the books had been out when I was a child I would have positively devoured them.

I wonder if I hadn't been familiar with the stories if I would have interpreted the textures I'd glued onto the panel in quite the same way.
