‘Sea Wind’ was inspired by Johannes Vermeer’s famous painting, ‘The Girl with the Pearl Earring’ and my own love for the sea. ‘Sea Wind’ depicts a beautiful woman, standing at the edge of the sea, while the wind blows her hair and flowy dress about her. Although this is a portrait and only her head and shoulders are visible, the rest of the picture is easily imagined. The restless, lonely feeling of the wind is mirrored in her eyes. All she hears is the wind and the waves. She feels lonely and restless, like her surroundings. At the same time, she draws strength from them while their vastness wraps around her in a hug of sound and sensation.
This original drawing is 9” by 13.” It is done with graphite and charcoal on acid free paper. It comes matted with lace and framed. A signed certificate of authenticity is included, along with a personal note from the artist.
