Woman with Flying Hair - Drawing by Sarah Myers

Woman with Flying Hair, Sarah Myers
Charcoal Line-Drawing

   This minimal line-drawing of a woman's head is created in simple charcoal.  Her flying hair suggests a wind or breeze around her; the gentle, backward tilt of her neck suggests she has turned to face into the gust, gazing at something outside the picture.
