Hattie's Window is part of my Feminine Intuitive Art series. Hattie was a relative on my husband's side of the family who lived in rural Virginia,and died in the 1940's. When I learned about her life, my heart was very sad for her. I felt she shared a kinship with many women of her era in that she was selfless, hard working and very giving without receiving much in return. So I have painted Hattie because I wanted to honor her and give her voice. She was very beautiful to my eye, once upon a time.
