In his Lake Woebegone series, Garrison Keillor refers to the ladies of the local church, the name of which, according to Keillor, is Our Lady of Perpetual Guilt. Somewhere I heard the above quote, and it is profound. As women, we so readily accept blame one can assume we come equipped with ovaries AND guilt!

Bev, this is PRICELESS and so, so true. (Am I right in believing it is your very own quote?). As you know, we are able to listen to Garrison Keillor here in Oz on Sunday nights and I love his stories and the droll manner in which he delivers them.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture. It is superb - from the richness in colour to the perfect, whimsical image. Take a bow!
Bev, this is extraordinary - your collage is wonderful in every way- what a beautiful composition. Your quote is so true but as I get older- I feel very little guilt any more( that's one good thing about menopause)!
ReplyDeleteHer expression certainly matches having a woebegone attitude!Cheers!
ReplyDeleteBev, great art!!! And you are so right about women and guilt, we do it so very well!! The colors are just outstanding! Bravo! LynnF
ReplyDeleteOMG what a fantastic frame for a quote.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Bev. Love it.
I had to smile when I saw your fabulous piece, Bev, that quote MUST be one of your own - so clever!
ReplyDeletethis is HILARIOUS!! i did not know this quote, but it is SO TRUE!! i must keep that in mind...

Might I just say that no truer words were ever spoken, Bev! This is brilliant!!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteBev, I absolutely love everything about this piece! the colours, design and especially the quote!
ReplyDeleteThe quote is probably true, we women live in constant guilt and if we have children, the guilt is even deeper. I hope the menopause will make it easier as Lori Saul said. The picture is also great, I like your style of making artwork.
ReplyDeleteVery very nice. I love everything about your piece and the quote is too true.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing piece, Bev!I love everything about it, the background, all the details, the colours, and the quote is just superb!
ReplyDeleteI love your colourful and lively and playful collage! And your story and quote are so true - sometimes I really wonder how much energy is wasted for feeling guilty.
ReplyDeleteOur Lady of the Perpetual Guilt. Marie is right: this is priceless! She lives in my house, too... somewhere near the chocolate-stockpile I guess.
