With a strong and classical form, reminiscent of Art Deco, WOMAN IN THE WIND faces into the wind of fortune. The wind of change. She has the characteristic crook in her little fingers, which my mother has always had, which so easily endowed her with a tenderness that softens her resolve. On one occasion, when I was presenting a lecture about my art in Houston, a collector friend and his entourage arrived in two matching private planes, purchased WOMAN IN THE WIND, and then flew back into the night dramatically.
