How does a restless and insecure day create such a tranquil looking picture? She looks nothing like how I feel. Only my funny, sort of crooked people are the sign of a funny, crooked mind. Just feel less funny and more crooked today. I feel a lack of destiny, not entirely sure I have one. I feel ineffective in the universe and have no sense of place. Maybe she is just what I wish I was, pretty in a hat and surrounded by some mystery and art nouveau.

no idea why the birds are important

Something to do with a day off. It can't all be just errands, making vegetable soup, and doing laundry. There needs to be some fun. If I paint faces, you can blame my mom. She paints things alive with faces and interesting ideas to look at. It is a layering rule of mixed media where it seems other reality isn't a major concern. A feeling is.

Mine is that I do not know why the birds are important. There are many birds in her work. They appear in strange places-- and I do not know why. I painted this to tease my mom.

Still, it reminds me of the many things I do not know. And the girls look it. They look rather "new soul", like it's the first go around if reincarnation is the way of things. They don't know what to with the eggs in the nest. They seem to be pondering something ineffible, but they have pretty hair.
