Olivia discovers the world

My friend, Claudia, whom I've never met, is one of the most famous artist's models in all the world (she must be famous if I know about her way up here on top of the world!), over the weekend went, with her niece, Olivia, to the Cloisters in NYC.

She took some nice pictures of her niece smelling the flowers. With Claudia's kind permission I've done these sumi-e based on Olivia's encounter with the world around her. Thanks Claudia!

Sumi-e on 'rice' paper, mounted, 13 by 15 inches.
