Post 100

The Girl I Left Behind Me


I've been searching for this painting for years. I found it originally in Italy on a bookmark--one I subsequently lost or inadvertently gave away. Since then, I've rummaged through thousands of prints in art shops, book marks in book stores, and did random searching on the internet without even knowing an artist name.

That search finally came to an end the other day when I was in my local thrift store, scanning the book shelves for antique, yellowed hardbacks. A book caught my eye, and I opened it. There, on the first page I turned to, was her. Again. The Girl I Left Behind Me.
