Miss Henrietta Whisnant and Ms. Ruth Boyer Meet for Coffee Several Years After Graduating from University


I've been painting a lot of the women from my yearbook this past week. I just did a single portrait of Miss Ruth Boyer this morning. This painting is her and her old college friend Henrietta a few years after they have graduated from the Univerisity of North Carolina. Ruth has gone on to be "Ms." but Henrietta is still retaining her "Miss" status. They mutually agreed to meet for coffee at a local cafe but have found that they really have nothing to say to one another.
