Pastel/Handmade Maple Frame
The translation of the Latin phrase "Mulier Similis Felis Est" is "A Woman Is Like A Cat". The association is mostly formalistic, not idealogical, as the orientation of the model depicted reminded me strongly of a sleeping cat. This work won the Juror's award for pastels/drawings at the 2003 Minnesota State Fair Art Exhibition. The drawing media is hard pastel on Strathmore 500 Bristol and the frame is maple with ebony details.
Winner, "Juror's Prize", 2003 Minnesota State Fair Arts Exhibition.
