I finished this painting a few days ago, and for the first time in a while, no title came to me. I often work from an idea or feeling, so the title is generally an expression of the driving thought/feeling.

This time, the muse failed me. I came up with “Theorizing About Chaos” for the Instagram post, but it never resonated.

Then I was fortunate enough to stumble across the poetry of Erin Hanson while rabbit-holing on the internet. Half way down the page I came across these words:

“Her soul is a kaleidoscope
Bursting with every shade and hue
But shift your gaze ever so slightly
And she’s something entirely new”

Thank you, young poetess, for giving words to my painting. You can read more of Erin’s work at www.thepoetrymarathon.com or her Instagram account handle @thepoeticunderground.
