When this blog was still pretty new I posted a couple of <a href="http://phantsythat.blogspot.ca/2008/06/thinking-out-loud.html" rel="nofollow">photographs</a> from the time we spent in Montréal where the original 'Mushroom Lady' is in the background. Unfortunately, there's not much of her to be seen. :)<br />I'd be delighted for you to share these with your daughters.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-72230377892412568202016-01-10T09:51:04.619-08:002016-01-10T09:51:04.619-08:00Thanks so much, Marja-Leena.

On the other hand, I've been happily surprised again at who has shown up on the paper.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me know about the sweet memories she conjured for you.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-45820678985433302762016-01-10T02:07:19.176-08:002016-01-10T02:07:19.176-08:00I loved the way she gradually emerged from whereve...I loved the way she gradually emerged from wherever she was coming from, as if she were gently becoming manifest in this realist world.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-55045844837123232342016-01-09T19:59:31.618-08:002016-01-09T19:59:31.618-08:00That's a great painting, Susan!

If her eyes were blue, she'd look very much like the woman who sells wind chimes and bowls full of succulents during summer farmers market over in Gettysburg.<br /><br />I would sleep well, I think, if her face were the last one I saw before drifting off. Her pose - face cradled in her hands - reminds me of a photo of my daughter more than 40 years ago, during our trip home from California.<br /><br />You have a wonderful gift for creating art, Susan. Thank you for sharing it with us.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.com
