Unknown Journey






UNKNOWN JOURNEY     oil on canvas     54" x 34"

this painting has been hanging in my living space where I can see it all the time since it was finished in mid-January...and now it has been adopted (their choice of word) by a couple from Washington state who spend their winters in Palm Desert (very intelligent)...I will deliver UNKNOWN JOURNEY to them next week...and I will miss it...


this morning I found these quotes from Flo Kennedy, a feminist and activist, in my inbox:


It's interesting to speculate how it developed that in two of the most anti-feminist institutions, the church and the law court, the men are wearing the dresses.

Sweetie, if you're not living on the edge, then you're taking up space.


— Flo Kennedy, 1916 - 2000
