Lovely Wednesday: Calaveras

"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." ~Thomas Campbell

"He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us,

more potent, nay, more present than the living man." ~Antoine de Sainte-Exupery

I love how green my hair and eyes look in this one. I brightened it in Windows Live Photo Gallery (it's the only program I use for my pictures--unless there's serious editing, like changing the background or something), but didn't alter the color.

"For death is no more but a turning of us over from time to eternity." ~William Penn

"The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity." ~Seneca

"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow

and I am in them, and that is eternity." ~Edvard Munch

"The rain makes such a lovely sound

to those who're six feet underground."
~Tom Waits

"After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
~Albus Dumbledore, J.K. Rowling

I bought these two paintings (and one other, not shown) from a friend's roommate's girlfriend, Veronika. I walked into the friend's house for the first time a few weeks ago and the walls were COVERED in paintings. "Who does all these?" I asked. I was fortunate enough to meet her the next time I was there, and she was willing to sell me a few of her paintings. There are a few more of hers I'd like to purchase, but we'll see what the future holds. :)
