Fugitive
Preparation will only take you so far. After that you've got to take a few leaps of faith.

Sometimes flight is wiser than fight. ;-)

...it depends on what you are preparing for...for what you went through just now...no preparation suffices
The Blackbird (53 months ago | reply)
Nothing prepares you for how you will feel when you lose someone close. It's overwhelming at times, dealing with the emotional and the legal aspects at once. I did the self-portrait as an escape from the heaviness. It's something else to think about, something else to do, a way to enjoy a small part of a difficult day. The escaped fugitive reflects this desire.
cecily k. [deleted] (53 months ago | reply)
yes, overwhelming..
indeed flight is (often) better.
good to see you here.

love your motion.

Thanks. It helps me during this time to keep things as normal as possible. This is the kind of silliness I get up to when I'm normally bored so I thought why not give myself a chance to be me for ten minutes and try to make some art. I had to run up and down those stairs about 10 times to get what I was after. I'm glad you like it.

Love this - particularly the composition. It's good to have a creative distraction.... tends to work for me sometimes. Still thinking of you lovely - keep your chin up. xx

Thanks for the compliment, but I'd rather not join. One of those groups has 15 rules to agree to before joining and I don't have time to read 3. Some groups are post-and-comment and I stay away from those. But I'm glad you like the shot.

Excellent sense of mid-motion and 'fleeing' you caught here.
