Portrait of an old Iranian tribal woman. Soft pastel on tinted paper. This was made from a photograph. I was really fascinated by the colors that made this woman...especially the redness of her probably henna colored hair and the blueness of her dress. The wrinkles and the leathery texture of her skin makes me remember the character Tai, the boatman, from Salman Rushdie's Midnight's children.. Im reading the masterpiece again now..
