Self-Portrait

No, not my self-portrait.
But now that I have your attention....

did a 45 minute demonstration
and painted herself
on canvas of course.

In front of 
40+ people
at the Fort Madison Art Center
last Friday



The demonstration was part of the finale
of her 52 Faces Project
Carlene spent the last year painting
one portrait a week
of 52 community volunteers.




Did I take a picture of the whole exhibit?
No, I wasn't thinking ahead
about this post.

Needless to say the portraits were beautiful.
Did I mention the Volunteers get to keep their Portraits?

Along with the portraits is a printed piece 
about the volunteer and their organization.

Wonderful....






If you missed it in Fort Madison
the exhibit will be on display in
Mt. Pleasant
at Iowa Wesleyan College
in March.

Pittsburg Hill


Look what I found.

A painting that I did for the Villages of Van Buren auction.

A year ago.

Oh my.....




I don't drive this direction often
but I love the view.
