Self Portrait/Eat Me Drink Me

No. 6:  This is the last of a set of 6 paintings I did for a group show entitled 'The Guiding Thread So Fine...." with Carolyn Kowalyk, Elizabeth Litton, and Lorraine Thorarinson-Betts at the Cafe Gallery at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre in December 2011. We are a diverse group and I believe the theme suited us well - it was a lovely show and we had a wonderful time hanging it. Without pre-conceiving this we all hung 6 works...which is not eerily speaking to any great 'mystery'... but a fun coincidence and sensibility nonetheless.

The theme is taken from Walt Whitman's "Song of the Universal"

"O the blest eyes, the happy hearts,
That see, that know the guiding thread so fine,
Along the mighty labyrinth."
