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!

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.
—Leonora Carrington, The Hearing Trumpet (1976)

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.
