Each one of us is allowed to show as much of ourselves or as little of ourselves to the world, as we choose. You're not here to fit inside of any box or answer to any labels others might have for you. Just be a decent human being and live your life doing what feels right for you.

It is worse to stay where one does not belong at all than to wander about lost for a while and looking for the psychic and soulful kinship one requires. It is never a mistake to search for what one requires. Never.~Clarissa Pinkola Estés

"Armelle" by Elizabeth Colomba (French) - Oil on canvas / 1997 - Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) #WomenInArt #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #ElizabethColomba #Colomba #TheMet #BlackArt #BlackArtist #art #artText #BlueskyArt #PortraitofaWoman #WomenPaintingWomen #MetropolitanMuseumofArt
American artist Elizabeth Colomba painted her cousin Armelle while thinking with (and against) the language of canonical portraiture. The pose and polish nod toward John Singer Sargent’s "Madame X," but the remake shifts what is centered. It's not spectacle, not rumor, but presence and Black womanhood held with dignity and specificity. Armelle stands in an elegant interior, her body angled slightly while her face turns in profile. Her eyes look up and to our right, toward a framed painting on the wall. Her skin is a beautiful warm brown tone under soft, controlled light. Her black hair is gathered into a neat bun, and small earrings catch a faint highlight. She wears a crisp black-and-white ensemble with a white, button-front top with a deep black collar and black trim at the sleeves, paired with a long black skirt that falls in a smooth, heavy drape over a white underskirt hem. One hand rests lightly on a small wooden table, fingertips relaxed. The other hand holds a single pale pink flower on a long stem, hanging downward like a quiet punctuation mark. The floor beneath her is a bold black-and-white checkerboard, sharpening the geometry of the room. In the upper right, the framed picture shows an outdoor scene with a standing figure beneath palms. It's an image that pulls her attention and organizes the whole moment around looking. Armelle’s sideways glance toward the “painting-within-the-painting” (a 1885 watercolor painted in the Bahamas by Winslow Homer called "Under the Palm Tree" at the National Gallery of Art) creates a triangle of looking: we look at her, she looks toward art history, and art history looks back ... all reframed through family, roots, and choice. Colomba has described beginning from an existing story and remaking it to feel true to her mixed French and Caribbean inheritance. Here, that remaking reads as both critique and care, claiming the museum’s visual grammar as a space where Black beauty is not an exception but a standard.

A woman (50s?) in a cheerful floral dress is pausing an animated conversation with her friend by announcing loudly: "Bugger! I haven't done my meditation yet! Want to do it with me?" They sit silent for a few minutes, eyes closed before they both start giggling. Animated conversation resumes. (4)

Crystals and Cardinal

Here is a female Northern Cardinal I saw a few weeks ago, perched among bare branches covered with frozen raindrops during a cold spell.
"A female Northern Cardinal — Cardinalis cardinalis — perches quietly among a tangle of thin, leafless branches. Her plumage is soft and warm, a gentle blend of tan and buff with subtle washes of red along her wings, tail, and the crest that rises delicately from her head. Her beak is a bright, unmistakable orange, glowing like a small ember against the muted winter tones. The branches around her are coated with tiny frozen raindrops, each one catching the light and shining like a bead of glass. They cling to the twigs in perfect stillness, giving the scene a fragile, crystalline beauty. The background is softly blurred in shades of gray and brown, creating a quiet, wintry atmosphere that draws all attention to the bird. She appears calm and alert, poised in the cold morning air, as if listening for the faintest sound. The combination of her warm colors and the icy branches creates a striking contrast — a moment of life and softness held gently within the chill of winter." - Microsoft Copilot
