Hey, Pearl! Look What I Found!

Dear Pearl,

Good to hear from you, too! Great to know that you received my message and feel inspired to start again. I was going through some of your work you left years ago, and wondered if you remembered this image? It still blows me away how you created this image. Great use of the 1940's photo but to know how you did it was something! Do you remember?

I think you spent the month of October on this image, just to make sure you were happy with the results. Watching you work nothing more than paper and charcoal was...sometimes, its hard to me to put into words watching an artist work. Its like being a mother watching a child grow and achieve, from the time of being a baby to the moment you watch them walk out the door to start their own lives. Pearl, watching you grow over the years, even when you were in your undergrad program just a few years ago.....it was awesome....and to catch up with you again I think will be equally wonderful, especially to recapture those lost years of your new journey into motherhood. Can't wait to hear those stories.

Pearl, sharing your work, past and present, is wonderful. Here's to life, Pearl!

Eternally Yours,

~The Muse
