This image uses a palette that look so realistic. When I look at it it seems like he's in the room. It took about 60 hours to complete and I used 9 colors. The medium is fabric, fusible and a tricot backing.

Stand away from your computer screen to get the better view. It measures 13 1/2" x 18".

45 years ago today, I clearly remember my family and their friends gathered around a television set either crying or beamimg with joy while listening to Dr Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream Speech". I didn't quite understand the mixed emotions but I found myself feeling an odd sense of sadness and pride. As I listened to this man speak, I realized that tears were wet on my face too. His words of peace, equality, and his vision of his dreams will be forever etched in my soul.

At the tender age of 10 years, I did not know that my soulmate of 33 years, was at the Washington Monument, among the sea of people standing there with his parents listening to the same words.
