Portrait of Karin

This was a part of a collective project by followers of Karin Jurick's blog, Different Strokes From Different Folks, as a way to thank her for the time and effort she invests to allow exposure and development of artists. We are surprising her with her portrait, make that 118 portraits. Thanks again Karin! Hope you know how much you've been appreciated.
And thanks to Jill Polsby who put the project together. If you visit Karin's or Jill's websites, you can see all the different renditions of this remarkable person and wonderful artist.

Beth (detail)

This will really torture my friend to be posted three times now, but I thought a detail was in order here. In the many years, thirty-six or so but who's counting, we've been bestest pals, she's only consented to pose one other time, so I've got to make the best of it.
