For me, it would be "Flaming June", by Sir Frederic Leighton. Dreamy and bright... And I am myself a June girl... 👧

I find this painting so soothing... But at the same time, exciting because I begin anticipating the awakening of the girl and I am so sure she will feel very calm, happy and whole.

if my transition was a painting it would have gone from the boring ass plains of kansas and missouri

to the gorgeous mountains of Colorado. [emoji6]

That describes my transition perfectly.

Although technically not a painting, this sculpture is an artwork that I think really expresses feelings many of us are familiar with when we finally begin a magical process we call transition.

Also technically not a painting, but for some reason this GIF I saw on Twitter last night really . . .

Well let's just say I like it. So here it is:

...It would be a blank canvas, representing my fear/hesitance of even attempting to begin.
I'm not out, I'm not on E, unless things change I doubt I ever will be.

**free hugs**

Well, I'm sure you have filled in some of that blank canvas with some penciled in desires. I would start with processing that, and envisioning how you might move forward. We are here to help. Just ask!  :icon_chick:

The Flying Lemur

Maybe this one . . . which is a riff on The Creation of Adam.  With automechanics.  I mean, it's the archetypal creation of a man image, but I'm not a particularly archetypal person.  I'm just some shmoe that would look a lot more at home in a mechanic's shop than in the fluffy clouds of heaven.

This is Gorgeous Jane!!! It's alive with freedom and the power of release from all that seeks to hold us back! 😀❤️🌻
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" ... Ralph Waldo Emerson 🌸

"The individual has always had to struggle from being overwhelmed by the tribe... But, no price is too high for the privilege of owning yourself" ... Rudyard Kipling 🌸

Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸

Was it Dali with the droopy clocks?
That's me. I don't get it one bit but it still exists

It almost has to be Salvador Dali with the droopy clocks. The Persistence of Memory I would guess.



The Burning Giraffe was my screen and phone for the first year on hrt. It just felt like me, I had emptied my drawers and was filling them with the stuff that should have been in there from the beginning. It is also Dali. I have a copy of his versions  of The Temptation of Saint Anthony.



Christian's World by Andrew Wyeth broke my heart, I stared at it for an hour the first time that I saw it. Then I found out the story behind it, wow, it became even more special to me. Lol, I have a $75 print of it in a $500 frame, messed up priorities probably. That was the second half of my transition.

I have never been a fan of Pollock. It is too much, his one piece in the Museum of Modern Art actually made me nauseous. I love some of Lee Krasner's, his wife, paintings though and I wish that I could afford one.


I really hope the paintings show up, I have a serious technology handicap so...
Here's hoping.

Oh my god, thank you Dena!
I don't know why I have so much difficulty with some things.
