There Is No Religion Higher Than The Truth

I was looking through my art portfolio today and found this collage on canvas that I created three years ago.
I really love it and can't decide if I want to sell it or keep it for my one-woman-show when I'm ninety.

Defy Convention

Once I make a decision as to what type of fabric or leather to use as a handle, my first textile collage will be complete. This piece has evolved over the past three weeks as I have considered what combination of textiles to use as an interpretation of my title, "Defy Convention".

Pictured here is one of my aunts, now deceased, who did not allow the conventions of her time to limit her in any way.

She was equally at home killing rattlesnakes
in the deep Florida woods as she was baking her wonderful pound cakes and Toll House cookies. She could grow anything with very little effort yet could give any of her seven brothers a good pounding when necessary. She was tough as nails while being the gentle family caregiver in times of illness.

This collage is fourth in my series, "Women On The Road".
