So much beauty in your self portrait, in your words, and in the words that you friends have spoken here, A memorable work to be remembered.

VIVA Anderson replied:

"Perspicacity" another favorite word. I also like "Propinquity" In general, P words are pretty powerful. Not unlike Portrait, not especially, but occasionally when "self" precedes and thereby precludes posturing. PLAU UTHER

VIVA Anderson replied:

Positively perfectly pronounced, Uther...so glad of your visit,thoughts,as always.....VIVA

"I Am Not Old I am not old…she said. I am rare. I am the standing ovation At the end of the play. I am the retrospective Of my life as art .I am the hours Connected like dots Into good sense, I am the fullness Of existing. You think I am waiting to die… But I am waiting to be found. I am a treasure. I am a map. And these wrinkles are Imprints of my journey. Ask me anything.'' - Samantha Reynolds

Well done Viva, love your description!! I am partial to black and white photography, so many interpretive possibilities to express. Wise King Solomon was inspired to record these words at Proverbs 16:31 "(Silver) or gray hair is a crown of beauty, when it is found in the way of righteousness." I have been watching Steve Harvey host "Little Big Shots: Forever Young" inspiring variety show. Where wise and experienced, young-at-heart seniors showcase their hidden talents! Your talents aren't hidden, you are sharing them with fellow artists and others around the world!! So old age is relative, keep shining Viva!! 💕 And favorite Janet

VIVA Anderson replied:

Thank you, Janet, for your enthusiastic support and interesting response...much appreciated..................VIVA
