The Lifter of My Head

The Lifter of My Head
18x36in
acrylic on wrapped canvas






Inspired by a sweet little blue woodland flower (transplanted from the woods in Iowa) blooming in the early spring - just outside my studio window.

I finished the painting just in time (2 1/2 hours of sleep the 'night' before) to deliver it to the Wilder Mansion in Elmhurst, IL this past Sunday. It was on display for the Elmhurst Garden Club's Afternoon in the Garden luncheon.

Close-ups of the painting.
I started this painting during a week I was teaching art classes. The 4 year old sibling of one of my students walked into my studio and exclaimed, "WOW!". I turned to catch his wide-eyed expression framed by his little hands up to his cheeks. I could use that kind of encouragement on a regular basis!!

I've got ideas for a 'Lifter of My Head' series.
I'll write more about it in a future post - hopefully with another painting to show.

This turned out to be so beautiful!!! I had a feeling you wouldn't sleep much that night :( Isn't it worth it though for the feeling you get when you stand back and look at the finished piece :) You are amazing!

Thank you, Angie. It's a miracle that I was able to stay up that late! As the name 'Dawn' would suggest - I'm not a night person.
