I'm as mysterious to myself as I am mysterious to others

Leonora Carrington. I had just been pleasantly surprised to discover she was still alive and painting!

[livejournal.com profile] time_shark, write her a muse, even if it was herself.

Sometime I shall find out why I stayed so long here, while I am happily contemplating reindeer and snow, cherry trees, meadows, the song of the thrush.

Oh!! I didn't know she was still alive. This is fabulous - I love her art.

ETA: It's not fabulous that she died, obviously, but that she lived this long. I need to stop commenting while tired.

Is okay. It is wonderful that she was still alive: I was so happy to hear from Jeff VanderMeer at the beginning of this month that she was holding a new show.
