Created as a Thank You in honor of Mother Delonda
"Spirit of the Cherry Red Pants"
Encaustic collage, with attachments, finished size, 8h x 10w, created December 14-16, 2008.
Your unstoppable spirit has inspired all who read of your heroics adventures. Your willingness to face life headfirst (ehem, even if over the bars of an unbraked 10 speed) kept me driving to and from college (a 70 mile trip) three days a week while still being a somewhat attentive mother of 3 and wife of 1.
Your ingenuity (and adaptation of the cherry red pants) is appreciated by all resourceful fellow pursuers of knowledge.
As an icon of 70's feminine liberation, I honor your accomplishments and your mincing steps.
Your life has touched me to my very core and I am a better person for having persevered and have been known to exclaim, in an hour of despair that "If Delonda can do it, so CAN I".
May you have many more days of love and laughter, as you have provided the same for me and countless others.
"Congratulate yourselves if you have done something strange and extravagant and broken the monotony of a decorous age."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The original is on its way. Wait, you ARE the original, this facsimile of your indomnitable spirit is on its way!
For Art's Sake,
& With Great Appreciation,
