floating, coral-like

"Pentimento - the reappearance in a painting of an underlying image that had been painted over (usually when the later painting becomes transparent with age) The word derives from the Italian pentirsi, meaning to repent, or, the artist repented." I explore the mystery of family history,creativity and beauty. Along the way I notice the people, the stories, the moments that capture my imagination - and honor them.
