is pronounced o-maj' in French. My friend Tom painted an homage to Dean Mitchell after viewing his exhibition in Canton. My homage today is to my friend Mo. She has studied with me for years. She is an open-minded and fair individual. She treats everyone with kindness. She is enthusiastic. We are both perpetual students. And....she lives an artful and considerate life in every way. Her portrait of me is just wonderful. Simply rendered. Texture has been liberally suggested. Energetic. And, as it seems to me, she only represented the good parts....of course, my hair and mouth were covered. (definitely a good thing)
Mo was not at class last week. Her wonderful dog Farina, who is also a member of our class, suffered an accident at a dog park and had to have surgery on Monday. Farina's leg was dislocated as she leaped to get away from some other large dogs. And the very sad thing is that not one individual stepped up to help her, or to acknowledge their part in the accident. I would have to say that this is anti-Mo behavior.
Which is exactly why I like her so much.
