Look beyond the beauty and you will see the intricate and complex configuration of individual character which forms the pattern on each and every woman’s face.

FROM A LIFE...A COLLECTION OF IMAGES IN PROSE, PAINT AND PHOTOGRAPHS.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and yelling joyously .... "WOOO HOOO what a ride!"
Two girls, two very different countries, one outrageously hilarious blog.

Solitude sometimes....
Reading now
Mountains Beyond Mountains is a book that needs to be read. The story is vitally important, especially given the recent catastrophic earthquake in Haiti. Understanding the major changes a small group can make without much money but a lot of dedication is inspiring, and may change the way you think about your own impact on the world.

Arty Farty News Bites
This is the first full-dress show in Britain for half a century. People who know the legend of the stockbroker turned artist who abandoned his family and took the banana boat to Tahiti for free food and sex, may never have had a chance to see the paintings at all. And even for those who have, there will be revelations: the portrait of Gauguin's sleeping child from Copenhagen, anxious dreams unfurling in the air around him; the spectral riders approaching a cobalt Styx in Moscow's The Ford (Flight); the self-portrait as a vermilion-haired Christ in the garden of olives, flown in from Palm Beach, Florida. This is Gauguin's pictorial imagination at full stretch, the show of a lifetime!

This is an original and clever interpretation of the topic
yes, women are intricate. great work!
beautiful work! i always LOVE the wonderful, bright colors you use.
Great image and a thoughtful commentary!
So true Tessa, so true!
A beautiful entry for intricate. Your work always reflects every given word. Lovely!
so true...and beautiful as usual
And this is why I cannot bear it when women get plastic surgery . . . and ending up looking so falsely smoothed out. They lose all of their interesting lines -- all of their character!
Tessa,
Thank you for visiting me at sixtyfivewhatnow.blogspot.com
The woman speaks volumes.
It's gorgeous. I agree with you that all faces are beautiful, unless the soul gazing out from behind that face isn't.
OH, yes.
Yes.
Your intelligence transcends—across an ocean, in my case.
Beautiful in form and color, Tessa!
And, as already mentioned, we women are a bunch of intricate and complex characters, hallelujah:)
Hope you've fully recovered from your flu! Take it easy until you do.
An amazingly powerful piece Tessa! I hope you are feeling better.
Beautiful words and image, Tessa! Simply powerful.
great work… such a thought-provoking piece!
Such a witty quote! By such a clever woman!
Many thanks.
Greetings from London.
Oh this is gorgeous! I also love your description, such wonderful words.
I hope you have recovered from the flu now. Sorry you were feeling sick. Sorry I'm only finding out about it now. I wasn't able to catch up with all my fave blogs last week. Take care :)
beautiful..
Stunning colors and lines. I love your bold approach to a delicate face.
her feautures remind me of the beautiful women of northern nigeria, the fulani tribe. Great blog and I would like to include you as a character in my unfolding story
or one of the photographs on your blog, if you do not feel inclined for me to include the armadillo as a character with a link to your blog?
