I know I've seen these forms elsewhere, the primitive but delightful flowers are held in the crook of her elbow while hands are folded in front of her. Bet flowers are the tiger lilies we have here in huge numbers. There are no inventions- we only use chalk and outline the work of some ancient artist's chisel. If it is too faint I do not guess. There are other lines on this work we left alone. A really good camera could catch them. A really good student of ancient cultures could probably guess what this piece is telling us.
