I love the way art begets art. A photo becomes a painting that inspires an essay of wordsmithing (also an art). I can see how all these pieces are inspiring on their own, and even moreso in the way you’ve brought them together. Thank you.
Beautiful painting and beautiful writing. I had a similar experience, though with a very different response, in a gallery near the community where I lived. It's of a rather ragged furred yellow cat with one eye winking. My husband and I rounded a corner and both burst out laughing when we saw it. I kept staring at it and it seemed to be saying something like, "Yeah the world is ragged and beaten up but laughter is still an option and it's going to be okay."
Your description of the painting, of finding it, gazing on it mesmerized, "paying attention," meditating on its message to you is now part of this work of art, enlarging its circle of thrall. Oh, Patricia, it is all powerful. It has found home with you and Doug. May Little Leaf continue her work daily, she is a beautiful messenger.
