Leg Wheel & Jew Harp

A BENT AND STRANGE GIRL with legs inspired by my words in the previous post...
that perhaps one day my legs might curl up into a circle and grow spokes.
She is my new painting, made with watercolour and pencil and a quote by Sir Francis Bacon:

There is no excellent beauty
that hath not
some strangeness
in the proportion.

Sir Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626)

This I believe very strong.
I love and see best all those who are broken-strange, crooked inside and out.

And while I write I listen to the most heart wrenching music: A Harvest, A Shepherd, A Bride ~ Village Music of Bulgaria. Wonderful recordings made over 30 years ago ... a delight of haunting, stark and rich acapella voices of Bulgarian women alongside traditional folk instruments of the region like the kaval flute and the gaida ~ a bagpipe made from a goat.
Go and listen to these songs ... they will take hold of your heart and place it on top of a mountain.

PS. If you like her .. you can have her on your wall ... here :)
