As a child, Annie was institutionalized for a while. I seem to remember whispers of a nervous breakdown. If that’s true, it was probably caused by her mother, my great-grandmother. I may never know the real story. I knew Annie when she was in her 50s through early 80s. She was marvelous. A style mayven. Always beautifully crafted in her dress and her words. Even here, sitting in her bed at the institution, I can see she’s not broken. She’s just wating for the day when she’s set free.

I started with the striped paper. The photo is masked using a transfer from the APP. I built up the cluster, then merged the layers and masked them to give them a weathered look. Added the gold paint and some brush work including the tiny splatters. Added the title and called it done.
Thanks for looking.
