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.

It is wonderful, Helena. Great to see it on the screen. Congrats M
ReplyDeleteA 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?
ReplyDeleteI 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...

A lovely piece and I agree very little quilting was required and not only to not spoil her beautiful face.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful piece of art. And the shadows and light are all the more effective for being in black and white.
