The Elusive Madam President
a mini quilt with applique and embroidery, 7" x 5", Jan 11,2025
For this week's challenge, the theme of Mythical Creatures begs for dragons and unicorns. However as we approach the inauguration of our 47th president, after an election cycle where it appeared we were finally to have a female president, I have to accept that too many US citizens aren't prepared to elect a woman, regardless of how qualified she is and how Unqualified the opponent is.
I used this painting by Bria Goeller as inspiration for Kamala Harris:
I was ready to welcome a 'Madam President'; to see her inaugurated; to have a 'First Gentleman' in the White House; to witness a final repudiation of the darkness and ugliness that surrounds the the person who ultimately won the election. But she is, at this time, a mythical creature.
We'll have to carry on.
Peace
Paula
