now I know in part, but then...

watercolor

“Shall I tell you the secret of the whole world? 
It is that we have only known the back of the world. 
We see everything from behind, and it looks brutal. 
That is not a tree, but the back of a tree. 
That is not a cloud, but the back of a cloud. 
Cannot you see that everything is stooping and hiding a face? 
If we could only get round in front--” 

 ― G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday

    The forest looks enchanting from either side I imagine. Your work is wonderful and the words you attach to your pieces so appropriate.

    Beautiful Minnemie,
    It's fantastic to see your sensational artwork once again.
    Like Tracey says...I'm in awe of where your find the time or inclination for that matter! ;D
    I can imagine what an enjoyable time you had creating this woodland.
    The quote fits perfectly too xoxo
