Painting #20 in this series. We live on opposite coasts, but our bond can never be broken.

I'm currently fascinated by assumptions and using watercolor to explore the concept. When the mind is hit with an assumption, it stands at a crossroads of a positive and negative paths. The series above was born when a friend of mine said, "No one looks at a nun and assumes she's oppressed." I had to dive in and paint women with various head coverings, hats, objects on their heads to see what they sparked in the subject, others, and myself.
