For Month of Love’s Week 4 challenge, “Metamorphoses”

“Can't you see where memories are kept bright? Tripping on the water like a laughing girl Time in her eyes is spawning past life One with the ocean and the woman unfurled Holding all the love that waits for you here”

-from “Jig of Life” by Kate Bush

“The Daughter of the Daughter of My Daughter”

Done for the Week 3 “Keys” theme for the Month of Love Challenge  http://monthofloveart.com/

For this theme, I wanted to show several generations of woman comforting each other, as one of the keys to healing is our mutual support. (Inspired in part (but not directly) by a line from Joanna Newsom’s “Sawdust and Diamonds.”)
