Thank you Wind

[Christy Talbott]

I just got back from a trip to Pittsburgh where I visited my cousin who is also an artist. While there I did this sculpture of my daughter Lilah. I started it with her looking up at me, then was reminded of a pleasant memory of her. It was a warm day in December 2006. She sat on the back porch, and there was a little breeze. She closed her eyes, enjoying feeling the breeze on her face, and said "thank you wind". I loved that moment!

The anatomy on her neck is off in these photos. I've fixed that, but haven't done anything else.
