Then it occured to me to counter that with a curved contour, and that just naturally led me into drawing a sailboat. I have done my share of sailing on small boats and love their shapes and how they are dependent on wind & water.

I pointed my camera and photographed her movements.

I suppose the subject matter came from my subconscious, regarding my preoccupation with getting enough sleep.

I pondered the idea for this design while recovering from open-heart bypass surgery in the middle of winter 2018. The original was a 5 x 7" watercolor, which I had printed as "thank you" cards to the medical staff who saved my life.

I've sinced tried to duplicate this little painting, and all turn out a little differently. But I title them the same, Growning Hearts, and number them.
