Staccato brush marks pile up, becoming aloft on the right hand side of this painting. The formation arcs over the phrase “By moles on the skin.” Divination by bodily marks, including moles and birthmarks, has had many names. The practice dates back as far as the Roman empire and was in practice as recently as the 1800s.

A selection of five Blue Watercolors float in a vertical, maple shadow frame.
