This is a piece I was working on for the Quilting Arts Portrait Challenge. It didn't start out like this... Why does a white woman make a black face? I felt it delved into the mystery of who I am... Not sure it worked, so I continue to search for who I am.A great accomplishment of which I am justifiedly proud is the gathering of $1200.00 in donations for victims of the Katrina hurricane by conducting a raffle of one of my quilts (see below). Congratulations Genie Becker for winning the quilt! Donations went to Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity. Then I shipped 3 boxes of quilts to Houston to Karey's Operation Comfort! It is a great feeling to be able to help in some small way as we are so far removed geographically.
An aside, have you updated your emergency supplies? Go to the Red Cross web site for a comprehensive list to guide you.
And then a possible reward and ego booster as I had three quilts juried into the O'Hanlon Center for the Arts exhibit in October!
The three more quilts submitted to the Sebastopol Center for the Arts Botanical Challenge. I have SO much to learn about entering these exhibits... stay tuned.

Why not a black face...I make faces in green, purple, blue, etc. I love your face!
Black is beautiful. My mentor painted florals and landscapes almost exclusively on a black-gesso background to stunning effect. Your portrait is delightful.
