Gust of Wind

The wind does the composing here: the shawl spirals up to her raised hand and drops past the hem, wrapping the figure in one continuous turn. She leans back slightly, head tilted toward the shoulder, the teal jacket open at the waist. Her gown is painted in blue stripes threaded with small red blossoms. Along the shawl's edge the colour shifts from pale pink to terracotta, and a gilt scroll runs across the oval base.
