Annie Dillard on Death and Gratitude

Disclaimer: the artwork is a replica of one of Thomas Kinkade’s legendary works. I painted it in the medium of acrylic on canvas. The quotation is from Annie Dillard’s first book, Tickets For A Prayer Wheel.
I really enjoyed your picture and quote. I think they go together very well.
Thanks, Rachael!
The Annie Dillard quote was interesting to think about. Thanks for sharing your artwork, too. Is there anything you CAN’T do??? You can write, sing, compose music, paint. . . you are a talented young woman!
Thanks for your kind words, Terri, and sorry not to respond to your comment sooner. I have been out of town.
I’m afraid that talent is one part grace and personality and nine parts blood, sweat, toil and tears
Also, I’m sure I would feel clumsy and illiterate beside a number of “accomplished” women of just a few centuries past.
