Original artwork description:

Another addition in my series of strong female portraits. Sensual, sexual, emotional, and bursting with movement and color. This series is somewhat of a feminist series from the perspective of a man. The women display some exaggerated features, such as elongated necks, slightly larger eyes, or tiny arms. They all feature strong women in different forms and settings. This piece is the only black and white piece where the female in the piece is taking watch in the deep deep hours of the night, where only the crows and moon are still awake.
