what I see
I see a young woman with a yellow wrap around her head. She has a pink beaded necklace around her neck and a white dress with the symbol of a club, like you see in a deck of cards, the club is gold with an outline of black dots. The background is blurry so I can not tell what kind of plant she is sitting in front of. On her face, she drew clouds starting between her eyes going up and over her left eye, then they go down her cheek. There are raindrops falling from the cloud, when they hit her upper lip they spread out and run down her chin. She has a circle around her left eye with teardrops running down her cheek.
what I feel
I feel like this young woman is looking out to the sea. She knows there is a bad storm approaching and her father has not returned. She painted her face with the clouds and raindrops to ward off any harm to him. She drew the circle around her eye to give herself better vision so she could watch for his small boat with the ever-growing waves. She has tears for all of the men who in the past did not return. After painting her face she ran to the beach and waited. She makes me feel like all hope is lost the storm is too close and the real tears start to flow. She stood up to leave, walked a couple of steps, and turned for one last look. There was something out there, her heart was beating faster. It was a boat, her father's boat. He made it, her tears flowed harder but this time they were happy tears.
