Hi. I'm a painter, a writer and a mother of three teenage sons, one with a severe disability. This is a journal: riotously disorganized, full of art, food, children and everyday domestic events. Unless you are a friend or family member you may not be interested, but you are welcome to look. Artists who are parents may find some common ground here, as well as parents of children with special needs. For art only, see my site: nancybeamiller.blogspot.com

METALLIC PAINT
is flaking off this plaster statuette of (I think) Guan-Yin, but she still has a certain presence. So much so, that I noticed her by "feeling" her looking at me, the way you can sometimes sense some (real) person's gaze. Guan-Yin is a bodhisattva of compassion, and a favorite buddhist superstar for many buddhist women (I believe she has spawned a cult or two.) Fittingly, I was hot, tired, burdened and rushing when I felt her calm gaze upon me. I immediately dropped all my stuff, and took a quiet moment to look back at her (with my camera.) Instant refreshment!
