Beautiful and thoughtful painting, Barbara. My daughter is in Afghanistan right now. I think the rights of women are particularly uppermost in her and my mind these days. Great work!

Artist Reply: my prayers for your daughter and your family while they await her return. yes this is also a matter dear to my heart. we must remember always our sisters - not in judgement or disdain, as their journey is a path we cannot understand except to just hope for them to finally find respect. american women are veiled in a whole different way -- cometics, fashion, skimpy clothing, etc... the intent of the cover is not a bad one, it just got out of control...it's all in BALANCE!!! thank you for the comment on this work...
