She of the 6 fingers, the lumpy squishy arms, the ample bosums, and full rounded face. I look at my other art and in not one of my pieces do I see protruding hip bones, stretched skin over ribs like zylophones, or the cheeks so hollowed that the face looks mummified. My statue of Pallas Athena actually has a rounded stomach behind her sword and shield. I was reading a 19th century novel that described the heroine's dimpled elbows. The skeletal works of art tend to represent horrors and the despair while women with some flesh represent beauty.... I happen to have a reproduction of Picasso’s The Dreamer in my living room.

That is what makes it, truly, a work of art. Oh, how Francesca loves to see how different people interpret the same painting! That is what makes it, truly, a work of art.

I've always thought the woman was pregnant and that the mirror was her worried self, her dark thoughts about what is possible in the future. I like Francesca's interpretation though. There are days when what I see in the mirror is certainly distorted. Funnily enough though I think there are also days when what I see in the mirror has a bit of extra glamour added. ~Kim I don’t think there’s a wrong and a right Toby.
