And More Faces of Oran: Mixed Media

I dug this out of my original this National Geographic, April 1982 photograph of a young Bedouin girl who was the early model in my imagination for Lirrel -- although I based her and her family structure on one of the matrilineal nomadic tribes in India that made their living through performance of song, dances, and acrobatics. Next, is a recent find by artist Dent Niggemeyer which had overtones of the Vaggers, a class of Oran travellers whose faces are tattoed with tree-like whorls and last a wonderful small watercolor by Australian artist Cherry Hood which reminded me of a younger Jobber.
