Black crow bird girl: Plain Jane Original Illustration No. 88 Miz Katie mizkatie.etsy.comThis image makes me think of what I'd like to be after this life is over. The song is one of my favorites and very fitting for the news of the day.
I'll Fly Away
Albert E. Brumley
1.
Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
Chorus
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
2.
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
Chorus
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
3.
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
Chorus
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
Miz Katie's images are engaging. Some might call them primitive or outsider art. My question is: Outside of what?
A little about Miz Katie: from her etsy bio:
I'm blind in my left eye, and I have no depth perception, but that doesn't stop me from doing what I love. I love to paint portraits.
I have a passion for painting facial expressions, people wearing glasses, masquerade masks, hats, and sunglasses. I go for the slightly unusual look. I like to paint people or characters that you might like to pull up a chair beside, and listen to their story on a rainy afternoon.
Danna, Haven't been on your blog for awhile and decided to just get on and read tonight. Saw the crow and read it and it is wild but early this morning took emmie out and their was one lone crow walking about on front lawn. Was going to get my cell phone to snap picture came back out and it was gone. Reminded me of you.
