“A Portrait in Song” Giclee Print

Description

Full Description of the painting:

This mythical muse shares with us a tender story of healing. A creature of beauty, she was cursed to utter shocking words and noises. She was embarrassed and dismayed that her life of grace and magic was marred by her involuntary speech. People stared at her and whispered. She struggled against the curse, but to no avail and in her frustration and misery, wept. Finally, she let go, let control float away. But in her surrender, she found a deep strength in an unexpected place. Within her own body, from her heart-space, came a sensation of cool water. It filled her chest and spilled forth. From that moment, each word became a poem. A flower bloomed from her lips with each new spoken thought. She overcame the curse and transformed  her world into a garden of blossoms.
