Another image of a Transcendental Being holding a strange object... Those who pass on hold the past as a keepsake for us and become carriers of the potential of our future. The portrait of one who peers out from the past, having become a personal archetype, a Guiding Angel. In her right hand she holds sheet music - composed by her beloved - turned to parchment. The falling pages are a symbol of the resolution of the past. In her left hand she holds a stopwatch; finger poised to press the button that will signal the end of Time and open the door for us to enter Timelessness. Dedicated across lifetimes to Cicily and Jerome. Oils on prepared canvas (canvas prepared with sand, ground glass and black primer base) copyright 2009 Li Li Parsons
