Women as Rocks at Sea heading to Sweden

The two pieces below were done as art school assignments at the University of Washington in wonderful Seattle in 1979. After 35 years they are heading to a collector in Sweden. I must have done 100 or more of these while I was in school there (1977-1981), but the vast majority of them I sold while I was one of the artists selling art at the Pike Place Market during those same years. I found these recently while looking for something else...
