* Freedom has a mind of her own ....

As I said before, birthing this particular painting is no easy task, for whatever reasons.  I told her today, "Your eyes and to big, your face is out of proportion and your lips have to be pared down."  Well!  She was having none of it and I got told in no uncertain terms.  "This is the way I came through you on to the canvas, and this is the way I wish to stay.  I like the way I look.  You will not change anything.  I'm a little different.   I've been through some hard times.  Freedom is a privilege you know.  You were lucky!  You were born to it.  Not so many people on this planet are.  Freedom can be a struggle, a fight, a war.  People give their lives for freedom.  I AM Freedom.  I came on to the canvas and here I am Free to be Me.  Leave me be."

So, Freedom will not be changed.  As I said yesterday, I am surprised by her youth.  She knows her own mind.  I will continue with the painting as is.

Freedom is big, and bright and bold, and out of proportion and beautiful.  Perhaps that what Freedom has to be sometimes, just to be acknowledged.  We are so blessed to have Freedom.

Now I need your opinion.  She insisted I doodle on the birds.  I did as I was told.  What do you think?  Not that she will allow me to change them anyway, but I'm curious about your honest opinion.  Keeping in mind the painting is not finished and there will be more detail in other places as well.  Thanks.

Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comments.  I appreciate your support so very much.  Hoping all is well with you.  xoxo  Donna

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
