Amunet, pen and watercolor, sunday sketches

While waiting for my Japanese lunch to be served, I started doodling in my calendar book. These doodles influenced the hairstyles for my Amunet series of female portraits. I think I have more sketches and doodles in this calendar book than actual appointments.

Amunet II is lovely... Her hair is so beautiful! I would like hair like that... LOL! Like ocean waves... I like how the hints of watercolor add an extra dimension to this piece--it's somehow subtle, yet bold at the same time. Your calendar doodles inspire, Juana. Now I know what do do with those pages that don't have much going on... LOL... ;o) If there's not appointment, instant art date--I like that! Happy Week ((HUGS))

It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
