I’d say no more coating of the harsh realities 🙂
Our society covers so many things up – what if we stayed real? What would happen then? Just wondering….
Wonderful themes in your latest shared works, Melody! Although her roots are a lot darker than mine! 😉
Thanks, Eric! I’m really enjoying these character pieces myself…
Thinking about veneers currently…
You too? 🙂
Winter seems to have gone Hollywood I see… 😆
Just a tad… 🙂
love the metaphor of veneer and scratches – it works so well!
Thanks Pam. There is so much pressure on women to look a certain way – and not so much encouragement to go deeper…
It’s true – women are expected to stay permanently young – I love the cometary…
Thank you! The expectations women labour under are unrealistic – it’s time to not buckle to the pressure, but to feed and beautify our insides as well as our outsides!!
Meanwhile, Melody Muses...
