This painting began as just a simple "fun" painting taken from an old Victorian photograph I found online. And it was going well... just fun! Then my husband wrecked his motorcycle, endured spinal cord surgery, and after 4 days in the hospital I brought him home. When I returned to finish this painting, my heart wasnt in a "fun" mood anymore. I realized how much stress I was putting myself under, both emotionally and financially. I really thought I had "grown" more than this in my personal life. So this "fun" little painting took on a whole new meaning. It would seem, as I examine myself, that I have not grown as much as I had hoped, and that I have much further to go! Funny how paintings reflect our everyday lives when we least expect it~ thus the name... The Looking Glass
