Ray Baptist<p>The Birth Of The Pearl, from The Kingdom Of The Pearl, illustrated by Edmund Dulac</p><p>I like how the "pearl" experiences the scrutiny of her audience, I aspire to this.</p><p>Usually I am working hard to think myself out of the spotlight. No one cares, I'm invisible, I'm invisible.</p><p>"You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."</p><p>Grace and humility and honesty. Vulnerability. I think this was painted well. Good night ❤️</p><p><a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/art" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>art</span></a></span> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/illustration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>illustration</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/grace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grace</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/openSesame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openSesame</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/fishFriends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fishFriends</span></a> <a href="https://planetearth.social/tags/serene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>serene</span></a></p>
