I am Judith Leyster
I am shy and sensitive
I wonder whether I will succeed in this life
I hear the violin on the painting playing in my imagination
I see the painting coming to life
I want to join the painting, be inside the painting
I am Judith Leyster
I pretend to be in an orchestra with my violin player
I feel the painting inside my heart
I touch the painting with my brush
I worry about the idea people will not like my creations
I cry about my failures
I am Judith Leyster
I understand I always will have to do the best I can
I say I always try the best I can
I dream about the last brushstroke
I try to create the painting as I imagined
I hope that one day I will be known for my paintings
I am Judith Leyster
