"Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter "repented," changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.
The paint has aged now and I wanted to see what was there for me once, what is there for me now."---Lillian Hellman
that's how long it has been since i began this blog.
how do you measure a year?
PENTIMENTO
it has been an adventure, a struggle, a joy, a wonderful accomplishment.
it has taught me discipline, made me see in many different ways,
forced me to do things i may have missed,
and introduced me to new friends.
