Connie McNees “Medallion”

Years ago, in Europe, I saw a wonderful pastel from the 1890’s of a woman wearing a head wrap and holding a golden medallion on a dark cord. One day, Brooke, a model and fabric designer, came to my studio with this wonderful piece of burgundy material to show me – and she was wearing a golden medallion on a dark cord. We went to work, immediately on Medallion.
