Actually, I like your sketch better than the statue - it's a lovely depiction but the scale of it, when seen in the photos alongside real people, seems too big to me. Probably citizens of San Diego will hate me for that remark!

I didn't know the two did not know each other and I'm surprised they could trace the woman and have her attend the unveiling of the sculpture. It's a sign of the times, but if today a man did that, he'd be doing time for assault; see your next post. ;-) I like your sketch of it a lot.Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733111654769386624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250111994207581732.post-67172214996274664632011-09-09T15:54:21.233+10:002011-09-09T15:54:21.233+10:00nelleke

Then I wondered if it had dual meaning though not immediately noticeable, after reading "August 14, 1945" in the other comment.

On August 15, 1945, Japan accepted the declaration of "unconditional surrender" of Potsdam. Japanese people were liberated from the war started by the wrong militarism. I wonder that self-expression of sense of freedom by the sailor is cultural thing? <br /><br />Your sketch is great as usual.
