Where I've been
I took quite a bit of time off from writing here over December and January. I was busy painting and thinking. I needed to focus on so many things going on in my world: our upcoming move, our last holiday season with family for a while, and my personal goals and what I hope to accomplish in the coming years. I think best when I am painting. It is my yoga and my best form of expression.
I thought I would share the finial painting with you. In one picture the color is off, too yellow. I am still trying to figure out how to photograph my own work. Anyway, here are a few shots of the painting as it progressed. I hope you enjoy.
I am not going to share what this painting means to me this time. The few friends that have seen it have come up with the most amazing stories, symbolism etc to accompany the piece that I would rather leave it open to your imaginations. I hope you like it!

OMG, that is an amazing, magical painting! I'm so glad you shared it.
How large is it? (I always wonder that with artwork and can never get a good sense of size on a website unless it's shown against something familiar.)
OMG! It's magical! You're so talented :)

so beautiful ... i get a sense of peace and joy from it ... as well as coming to terms with not being afraid of the unknown, simply taking small steps without trepidation, and feeling safe in being somewhat vulnerable.
thanks for sharing : )

It's just lovely. I'm so glad I stumbled across your blog and this piece.
(I would also love to know it's size. And medium, oil?)
Breathtaking...
Letha! You are so talented. I wish to paint on a huge canvas like that someday. I LOVE this painting!
beautiful,
honestly.
so gorgeous.
Wow, Letha. Your painting took my breath away the second I saw it. Love on first sight. It's just so.. amazing.
Ahhhh maybe blogger will let me finally leave a comment. It is giving me hell lately.
Sweetie I love this so freakin much. The colors are perfect-the detail-omg their hair and hands and clothes, and body positions. The crows.
I am dying for a print of this too. I know you are so so buzy. But when you can figure out how to get them PLEASE!!!!!
Before I came to your blog I went to your website via Boho's links and I feel in love with your paintings.
I'm so glad you made the time to paint, it must be such a challenge with your boy and all the changes coming up. But you have an extraordinary talent, and this is an amazing creation.
The feelings it stirs in my are of release, release of something very magical and deep within me. What a wonderful feeling.
Thank you for sharing it. I too would join the queue for a print!

Leth, just like everyone else, i would love a print of this and if i was wealthy, i would want to purchase the original.
this is one of the most moving paintings i have ever seen. your talent sometimes is overwhelming (in a good way). i am in awe of your ability to create such magic with oil and canvas. i see such amazing things happening to you in Africa in regards to your art. there will be so much for you to capture there and i am tearing up just thinking about it.
i love you and am so proud to be your friend.
xoxox keep creating...we need it. the world needs it from you.
Letha~ I am blown away by the beauty that you have created here. To say that love it and feel it would be an understatment. To say that you are talented...well, I think that would also be an understatement.
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this with us!!!!!!!
Letha ~ This is really beautiful. I'm just taken aback by your talent, and your voice.
Thank you for sharing ~ Meridith
No words...just a deep breath. This image spoke to me and I appreciated you for sharing it here more than you know...
Love,
