| Face 15 |
Last week I was taken with a picture from Lynn Cohen’s
blog. It was one of the customers in her
café scenes. The lady with big purple
hair. It reminded me of a person I know locally. In the ten or so years I have known her she
has always had various shades of pink hair- and I mean shocking pink. She is not a young lady, so it takes you
aback when you are close up. In the city
she might meld in, but in a conservative rural town she stands out. She once told me that people can see the pink
well before she arrives and if they can’t handle her they have a chance to
scarper!
All week I have been thinking on how we want to be
different from the norm. Some of us have
the courage and some of us don’t. The above lady is someone who always when she
leaves her house puts on a little cap with feathers, they are real feathers and
fluffy fake ones, she is a tiny little thing and she told me the feathers make
her feel bigger! I have drawn her lots
over the years. Here are two.
Both these ladies have the courage to be different,
however I wonder. I suspect they are
using their flamboyancy as a tool to hide behind.
I have only counted the first face in the challenge as the others I did earlier.
