Unless you played your guitar ...then perhaps i would lose interest in your portrait....If i showed my showed my self portrait, would you lose interest in my craft ??
i am a painter who began my career as a child coloring outside the lines of my coloring books. i am a writer who started out by composing adventure stories while riding my stick horse around the backyard. as a child, i got in trouble for asking too many questions...i question that.
"the emperor's new clothes" by hans christian andersen
this fairy tale has been a companion to me as i have traveled through my life.
briefly, it is about an emperor who was deceived by two tailors who said they were making a set of clothing out of a "dream" fabric. in reality, they used no fabric at all. to make their scam complete, they announced that only those who were wise enough would be able to see the beautiful clothing. and so, no one, not even the emperor, admitted to being unable to see it.
wearing his new "clothing", the emperor paraded through his kingdom. no one questioned his appearance; no one wished to appear less than wise.
until a small child asked, "why is the emperor not wearing any clothes?"
so it is that i ask, if i question rather than believe i am wise, what will i see?

could my self portrait become a guitar?
s.a., if you showed me your self portrait, i might lose interest in the way you painted it but is there more to a a self portrait?
The self-portrait ...may include the guitar ....and it may become the craft that would perhaps make you more interested of my self portrait :)
so then, the line itself might draw me to you.....
What is the line about then??
a map?
Map...hmmm...does that means that in studying my self portrait ...it leads you to where the end of rainbow is ??
of the beginning?
of the pot of gold ??
what would you find at the beginning of the rainbow?
or maybe an empty bucket?
