  • syd baker

    syd baker

    Wonderful, Mimi, as expected, we never get this close to her, do we, maybe that’s the problem in Washington… I just read the history of her at Wikipedia, remembering that we received this statue as a gift from France, and that her arm arrived far in advance of the rest of her and was exhibited to the public in Philadelphia to raise money for the pedestal. Interesting note, the torch was originally gold leaf, but was turned into a lighthouse beacon for a while, but birds crashed into it by the hundreds, so they reverted it back to an electric light, which was then rebuilt in 1985. Lovely tribute, sweetie!

  • mimi yoon replied

    yes, and not to mention all that she symbolizes…. thank you so much syd…. i did not know about that arm arriving earlier than the rest… : ) thanxxxxxxxxx

    Oh my! Mimi, these shadows are amazing, the greenish perfectly comes to enhance the previous version (I love this little one coming down from her right eye, like a tear)… Her mood is so expressive. Every shape seems to pop out of the frame. What a fabulous portrait. Mimi, you’ve got to stop making so many stunning pieces, I am running out of superlative words…
