Blue, a Self Portrait – Jennifer Allison, watercolor
There’s Caspar Friedrich’s Wanderer Above the Mist hung on your wall. Do you really have a copy of it there or just added it in the watercolor for effect? 😉
Oliver Colors has recently got hold of a bit of ultramarine pigment, ground from lapis lazuli. He should make you envious…
I knew a room which held the painting…..so I painted the room and how could anyone forget the painting? It is beautiful. I will have to check out this “ultramarine” pigment…hmmmmmmmm……

“And that is how I have cherished you–deep inside the mirror, where you put yourself, far away from all the world.” Am I wrong to see a mirrored self-reference in the Friedrich work previously mentioned?
This is lovely. For me, there is something about the hair – giving some sort of protection, but also a great display of energy. (It’s lovely to know the background story of how you got hold of the paper as well!)

by the way….Rilke wrote that exactly 63 years from the day I was born. Interesting
I did think of Paula Modersohn-Becker. 🙂
