Not just about my mother but about myself and the compulsive/creative behaviors I possess. When my wife saw this she said "that's you." Winner of the "Handmade Portraits" Weekend Project http://www.vimeo.com/groups/weekendproject/forumthread:242841 More about Donna Brass at http://www.donnabrass.net/wordpress/ The major influence on Donna Brass’ artistic direction came to her in the person of Xavier Ironside, a renowned Knoxville painter. He introduced her to watercolor, it’s transparent quality offering more creative potential than the opaque paints Donna was using. Driving country roads, Donna Brass takes many photographs, both to record initial impressions of all subject possibilities and also to jog her memory of specific detail.
