Years ago I painted this piece. I just came back to it and worked a little on the fabric. This piece has always had a soft spot in my heart. It is a women that is etched in my mind from my time in Morocco. We crossed paths at a watering hole where I had parked my truck (that I was living in) to camp out for a few days, she had herded her goats to come drink. She was much older then the women I have painted here. Her bright green eyes smiling at me, it always made me wonder who she was in her youth. I placed this piece in an art show… and was told to never paint people ever again based upon this piece and one other I enrolled in the show. Constructive criticism?? Well I have painted many people since and will never stop. Something I love to do and won’t let those words stop me.
