I know, this is late, late, late. But I have an excuse. Right before I joined OS, Joan put out an open call asking for a new hat for her OS Avatar. When I went to the OS Birthday Bash, there was mention of the hat contest. So when I met Joan, I committed to proffering my own. But it took me a while to find decent examples of the paintings and photos I was seeking, and then longer to complete the Photoshopping.
Joan, I hope that I am not too late to participate. And if I am, I hope that you will still enjoy them! (P.S., sorry again for spilling your glass of wine at the OS Anniversary Party - typed with sheepish grin on face.)
JOAN AS ABIGAIL ADAMS
For Patriotic Holidays
(Comment 1: It just seemed fitting to me.
Comment 2: I couldn't stop at just a hat...)
Version 1: Joan as Abigail in EveryWoman Revolutionary Farm Garb
Version 2: Joan as Laura Linney as Abigail Adams
(I apologize to HBO ahead of time as I suspect there are copyright issues, but what woman wouldn't enjoy seeing her head atop Laura Linney's amazing neck - and oh, I am counting the wig as a "headpiece".)
Version 3: My Favorite - Joan in Classic Abigail Garb
(Note: clearly, there are no copyright issues with this one.)
JOAN WALSH AS ROSIE THE RIVETER
For Labor Day and May Day, perhaps?
A Historical and Yet Down-Home, Everyday Sort of Look
AND FINALLY! A SUMMER SUN BONNET
(Joan, you asked for an Easter Bonnet, but it's clearly time
for something a little more summery!)

I'm very impressed you photoshop. Rated
Lonnie, I love that - "Joanie the Jackhammer." Perfect for facing down the likes of O'Reilly!
But, I have to agree that after Joan's appearance on O'Reilly's (whatever it is) that she is channeling Rosie.
So, I'm splitting my vote.
Rated!
FLW, Joan as the original revolutionary woman does have a certain appeal, doesn't it?
Zuma, I promise, never Aunt Jemimah.
Livemonster, Angela Davis is one of my heroes, hummm....
Joan, thank you for dropping in. I am glad you enjoyed them - they were fun to work on, too. Should you ever change your mind, even just for a day, they are, of course, here for the copy and pasting. It's clear what the popular vote is. :)
Your photoshop skills are awesome!
