| I was feeling somewhat off until I got the idea to draw something. I looked around for a suitable subject and found one. After I began drawing the Naga Kanya statue, she took on a life of her own. I didn't like both eyes shut, as the original statue has. It seemed one eye should be wide open, alert to the world around her. The offering of the couch shell became another sort of offering. Perhaps knowing today is "International Women's Day" went into my inspiration, for she seems a celebration of all feminine gifts. |
