Sojourner Truth was a former slave, abolitionist, and civil right activist who escaped from slavery at the age 29. She was also the first African American to win a case in court against a white man who illegally sold her five year old son. Truth was born Isabella but changed her name because she believed that the Spirit called her to preach the truth.
I started both Harriet Tubman and Sojourner's portraits without drawing their faces first. This is probably why there's such a dramatic difference from start to the point she is now. She's not finished yet. However, I plan to finish them soon and post them to my website. This painting is on 2'x3' particle board. Thanks for reading
