Self-Portrait, oils on board
Parasol
Tori Amos
When I come to terms
to terms with this
When I come to terms
with this
When I come to terms
to terms with this
My world will change
for me
I haven’t moved since
the call came
Since the call came
I haven’t moved
I stare at the wall
knowing on the other side
the storm that waits for me
Then the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
may be the only one
you can’t Betray
If I’m the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
I will be safe
in my frame
I have no need
for a sea view
For a sea view
I have no need
I have my little pleasures
This wall being one of these
When I come to terms
to terms with this
When I come to terms
with this
When I come to terms
with this whiplash
of silk on wool embroidery
Then the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
may be the only one
you can’t betray
If I’m the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
I will be safe
in my frame
I will be safe
In my frame
In your house
In your frame

I really like this Shmoop. I love art and I wish I could paint but sadly my talents are limited.
I live in a small house that's a sort of totally wild fusion of a Library, an Art Gallery. a Recording Studio and a Network Control Centre (on acid).
If you ever want to sell it I have a place for it half way up the staircase.

That is a nice compliment, Merlin. Thank you.
The painting isn't for sale for a few reasons. What you see there is only one part of the painting. It's a cropped image. And I couldn't let you buy it sight unseen. And, the painting won't last forever because it's painted on board. I grabbed what was close and painted it in about 30 minutes. Next time, I'll be more careful with my materials. I was in a bit of frenzy when I painted it.
I think it's probably the "frenzied" aspect of it that appeals to me.
And purple/blue are my favourite colours.
