I am becoming somebody – I'm living the most intensively happy period of my life.
~Paula in a letter to her sister Milly Rohland-Becker, May 1906
For Art Thursday, paintings by Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907). When I chose her works, I didn't realize she died tragically of a postpartum embolism at age 31. I'm glad she caught my eye.

The child on the red pillow is really sweet even though she looks a bit sad.
I'm really glad that Paula Modersohn-Becker had an "intensively happy period of her life" before she died.
