I don't know exactly what motivated me to draw this. Several things I guess. Tami, my fellow branch chief on our team, suggested I put my language over some drawing. So I decided to do it. The drawing began with my name in my language in portrait (sideways) view.
Then I started to doodle the hair. From that a face emerged, then the shape of the body. Realizing I was drawing another woman, I made the shapes into a woman by adding the hips, belly button and nipples. Yeah, it's naughty. Probably not what Tami had in mind when she made her suggestion.
Since I drew this right after attending a local symphony concert while in Germany, I named it Maestra. Yes, my names are just that silly.
