A Muse

Another overcast day here in LA. I'm off to the gym and then coming home to do some painting. After the library yesterday, I did not want to paint at all. Zero! I needed a break. I will work on my 'Teacher' piece. It still needs a lot of layers.

The piece to the left is titled Amanda More Lip More. It is isnpired by the fabulous transgender Amanda Lepore. I have great admiration for her and for anyone who is courageous enough to be themeselves regardless of opinion. I have painted a few of pieces inspired by her and along with my mother, think of her as a muse. I can google her name anytime and be inspired.

Interesting that yesterday, I checked out Facing the Lion, Being the Lion by Mark Nepo and he starts off by defining the word courage. Today I will remember to be and feel courageous.
