A throwback to this journal page I love so much. T A throwback to this journal page I love so much. The quote says: 'What if I fall, oh darling what if you fly'? By Erin Hanson. The full quote is: "There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask "What if I fall?"

Think at this point, it's about 30% into the painting process. It goes through a lot more transformation before it's finished.
