Here, we see the two |
|
Miss Leavens; each girl was 16 years old. |
|
Kylie died in a car crash in |
|
Iowa,Harriet in an 1815 portrait from |
|
Connecticut. |
|
Harriet's necklace & purse are lined in scarlet reds. |
|
Kylie's myspace states that she was a good friend. |
|
Stylized clouds float behind their heads, suggesting the halos that awaited them. |
|
The 2 Miss |
|
Leavens - no doubt, in |
|
Heaven, I paint their portraits on ivory. |
|
Two perfect likenesses, teen-aged your highnesses, soft-focused by death, by history. |
|
I am the limner. |
|
I make portraits in minature. |
|
These 2 girls were separated by 200 years, but still they are sisters."When this you see, remember me.Bear me in your mind.What others say when I'm away-Speak of me as you find.Resigned to dust - don't pity us." |
|
Forever pretty & mysterious. |
