Woman Empowerment !

I was not feeling much motivation for painting for last few days. I asked for some idea from a friend and when she suggested to do a series of woman empowerment in Japanese art style - I was startled. Woman empowerment is what my heart bleeds for! And using Japanese art style, which I know nothing about, is an inspiring challenge. 

When I think about woman empowerment, the following lines always make me feel that an empowered woman might (not necessarily though) be like this - 

ডান হাতে তোর খড়্গ জ্বলে, বাঁ হাত করে শঙ্কাহরণ,
দুই নয়নে স্নেহের হাসি, ললাটনেত্র আগুনবরণ।

তোমার মুক্তকেশের পুঞ্জ মেঘে লুকায় অশনি,
তোমার আঁচল ঝলে আকাশতলে রৌদ্রবসনী!
 
And here is my attempt to depict this enigmatic lady in Japanese samurai style

Technically, its very quickly done - in about 10 minutes and of course without erasers. But I really enjoyed doing it. I sincerely request myself not to let this enthusiasm dry and do some effort to complete the "dare":)

And well, thank you! , for waking up the sleeping lion - just the right way she needs :)
