Pomegranate Queen: Betty "Farewell To The Monk" Drawing

"Betty: Farewell To The Monk" is an ink sketch artwork which belongs to the series "Pomegranate Queen", inspired by my recent psychotherapeutic journey back in time to my adolescent years. The full story, hidden in the series, can be reconstructed in the following order: Ettie, Dodi, Rivka, Ella & Aviva, Magda, Betty, and Ilana. Consequentially, I have decided to use my poems from the same time period for these art pieces. Betty wanted to find her father. She spent many years hiking to the top of the highest mountains to discover his remote dwelling. She spent some time in seclusion with him, under his strict supervision, however after her man came for her, she decided to choose her human lifestyle over the secluded ultra-spiritual living of her father. Before she departs, the monk is giving her instructions and showing her the way. The pregnancy in this picture represents the essence of the human side of life. *** - Не хотите ребенка? ....................- Ни слова о детях!!! Не хочу вечных криков и нервных смешков. Мне самой еще впору резвиться, как ветер, Без забот, без проблем, без ненужных оков. - Как относитесь к детям? .........................- Ceйчас или позже? Mне еще чужда проза бессоных ночей. Я хочу насладиться любовною дрожью, Быть безумно желанной и просто ничьей. - Вы еще подождете иль сразу родите? - Что Вы! Свадебный марш отыграли вчера. Нам еще предстоит столько новых открытий, Новых лиц, новых стран, новой роли игра. - Не тошнит? – Да, тошнит... – А огурчик? - Не надо. Быть не может ... Когда? – Вот так года итог... Но ведь мы не хотели... Неважно, права ты... - Ты же счастлив? – Конечно. – А дочку? – Дай Бог! (C) 2002 TRANSLATED POETRY (ENGLISH) “Do you want a baby?” “Not a word about children !!! I do not want eternal cries and nervous cackles. I myself still fit to frolic like the wind, No worries, no problems, no unnecessary shackles.” “How do you feel about children?” “Now or later? The prose of sleepless nights is still alien to me. I want to enjoy romantic trembling, To be insanely desired, but single and free.” “ Will you wait with babies or get busy now?” “Oh please! We just finished the wedding day scene. We still have so many new weird discoveries, New faces, new countries, and new roles to see. “No nausea?” “Yes, I’m nauseous ...” “And pickle?” “Full platter.” “It can’t be ... When did we? What a year-end thrill... But we didn’t want to ... You are right, it doesn’t matter ...” “Are you happy?” “Of course.” “And if it’s a daughter?” “It’s God’s will!” (C) 2002 *** All original paintings include a certificate of authentication and a piece of original and translated poetry with an autograph attached to the back of the painting.
