Mystery of Life #4

2010-09-24T09:16:00.000-07:00

Mystery of Life #4

Number 4--When it comes to giving a paintings it's title

I have a way of combining my favorite descriptive words--

Such as --Red, book, shoe, pomegranate, road, blue vase...

Mystery of Life falls into another category.

Here I am at #4.

I guess it is one of my favorite titles for one of my favorite subjects.

When this painting was finished

a title hadn't come to me yet

as it often does in the process of telling myself the story.

Hmmm.....nothing was coming to me that seemed right

and then all of a sudden----"Of course

Mystery of Life #4

perfect."

Yesterday I came across this quote.

"The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved

but a reality to be experienced."

Aart Van Der Leeuw
