Local artist Terrance Osborne has spent the past
several weeks creating paintings that honor the heroes of
the medical and service industries. His "Front Line" piece, which
depicts a courageous female doctor, is a nod to the iconic Rosie
the Riveter poster from World War II. The
subject wears fleur-de-lis earrings to symbolize her status as a New
Orleanian, as well as a surgical mask, determined expression, and
a Band-Aid to signify that
she's equally susceptible to the virus as all of
us. Osborne will be donating a thousand copies of the
artwork to hospitals around town. It is also available for purchase on his
website terranceosborne.com.
