finding inspiration

I find inspiration in lots of places:  paintings, nature, and even ads.  This Lancome ad caught my eye with its color scheme, so I dug through my stamps to find anything that sort of matched.  This is the result :-)  Note:  the woman stamp can be found facing the other direction at Golden Acorn stamps.  I am not sure of the source of my left facing stamp.

PIONEER REQUIEM

This piece was done to honor the pioneer women who migrated West, sometimes losing loved ones on the way.  I wanted to show the mother kneeling at the little grave, baby blanket in hand.  The road behind her beckons her onward, to leave the little one behind.
