(32 prints for BarenForum Exchange #37A).On my 50th birthday, I celebrated by rowing across our pond in my new kayak on her maiden voyage. I considered it a Rite of Passage Ceremony, crossing into my Crone years. This print was also created to be in honor and memory of Wanda Robertson, a BarenForum.com Printmaking member, who has passed into a new dimension of her life's journey.
