Carthaginian waiting for her hero’s return – 29-12-14

Some years back I came in contact with a young Tunesian woman on Facebook. She had this great profile picture of her sitting on the dock of a bay at Tunis. My classican background (latin and greek) associated her with Dido, waiting for Odysseus at Carthage (Cartago). Looking back this one reminds me of stained glass but already with my roundism style employed. I consider roundism as the prolongation of cubism.
