The drawing is titled "New Woman," though it is not meant to associate with the idea of Feminism in any way.  I was intrigued by the model's appearance from the onset as it seemed to transcend race and ethnicity.  I posed her in such a way not very typical in the sense of emphasizing traditional feminine features such as curves and a slightly reserved nature.  Instead the model in this drawing projects confidence and an assertive outlook.

My Wind Song watercolor painting from my THIS WATER series has just been sold. Here I would like to share with my friends the poem behind the series:
Follow me….
Where there is a clear and open sky,
To a sacred place full of wonder,
If the...re is magic on this planet, it is in This Water.
Where Blackbeard stored his treasures;
Sails billow in the salt wind;
Clouds play with light and shape
On a horizon without end.

Follow me....
Where there are no highways and World Wide Web,
To a place of solitude and peace,
If there is healing on this planet, it is in This Water.
Where mullet, leaping, shimmer in the sun;
Sea turtles come home to nest;
Pelicans soar high;
Fishermen work and rest.

Follow me....
to This Water.
