Maiores 1
watercolor
30 x 22
Framed Size: 34 x 25
I like to make connections between things I understand and things I don’t. For the show “She the People”, I chose to make paintings about the connection between the seven women heroes of the Old Testament and early suffragettes. Didn’t these heroes lay the foundation for how the suffragettes thought about women’s roles in society?
I began the paintings with layers of gold, scarlet, indigo, and purple, the colors used to make the veils for the ancient tabernacle in Jerusalem and the ephod, a special garment worn by the high priest. Then I added the names.
What emerged were Maiores 1 and 2 (Maiores is Latin for forebears.) celebrating Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Hannah, Abigail, Huldah, and Esther.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
