Joni's comments from the StarArt book: "This is a portrait of Abigail Haness, although it really wasn't done so much for her likeness. I drew it to show her this technique of line drawing where you draw somebody and don't look at the paper. Later when I began to color her the coloration started to go like a sunset so I decided to make her the sky and put in the bay at Matalla, on the island of crete, sa I remembered it with the fishing villages and boats."
