Reflections of Marie-Anne

This is a portrait of my 30-year-old daughter Marie-Anne. It is a reflected image, and reflects my thoughts on having a daughter who is older than how I feel myself! She is a very black and white person, so much like me. There is very little quilting, since I didn't want to add any wrinkles to her beautiful face. Looking forward to the next challenge, whatever it may be.

  2. A great piece, Helena. I love the way you have chosen only a section of her face, as the positive and negative spaces are so much more interesting that way, and the focus is very much on the eyes. Does Marie-Anne like it?

  3. I also love the way you have chosen to use just a portion of her face. Very striking. Interesting reflection about her being older than you feel...

  4. A lovely piece and I agree very little quilting was required and not only to not spoil her beautiful face.

  5. A beautiful piece of art. And the shadows and light are all the more effective for being in black and white.
