Caught on felt...

(Pastel on felt by a Vince de Pio, 09/24/04) This was a new experience for me, and I liked it...I enjoyed posing and holding still while the artist was trying to capture my every feature and more importantly my expression and mood. This took roughly 30 minutes...and yes, I didn't move! I would really love to do this again...in hopes that I'll be in tip-top shape the next time. Thanks, Vince!

Oh! I remembered...this was also the time that I was running a fever. That whole week I was trying to accommodate every appointment possible thinking that I was superwoman! "It's all in the mind"...a thought that I was trying to shove in my head the whole day. I am not one who gets weakened by a measly fever or a bout of cough and cold; so, up to the last hour before going home, I was even drinking red wine at an art gallery opening thinking that it'll be the much-needed cure to my ailment...but then again maybe not for I had a temperature that went up to 40.1 that night! Indeed, another lesson learned...the hard way.
