Description 2006
Oil on Canvas
48"x36"


My friend Margi...she's another raw foodist and a fantastic person. I'm going to focus most of my new work on compositions similar to this, even though painting the fabric makes me insane sometimes!

Love her peaceful expression. I can appreciate the detail in the material in order to make it look this realistic. It hurts my head just thinking about it. I salute you Heather!

I really, intensely enjoy all of your work. You have a specific, classic style that never gets old. Also, your use of light and attention to detail are phenomenal. Nice control and subtleness in the blending.

another excellent painting. I dont know why fabric would make you go insane, its the human figure, especially the face is the hard stuff. You never seem to have a problem with that though.
