Mother and Child, the universal and iconic image, does not lose its power with a Texas accent! The women who came out west were of such strong stuff, but still so gentle. I think mothers exemplify Power & Peace. This tiny prairie girl is wearing a bonnet and boots with her flour sack dress, which her mother has bent down to adjust. The tender moment is made strong for me by the clothing that the two are wearing. The mother is dressed for riding, not darning, but you know she made the clothes that little girl is wearing. The mothers of our own generation are equally able and versatile, strong and gentle: powerful purveyors of peace.

Cowgirl and Child, 16x12
