My Mother's Red Shawl - El Rebozo Colorado
Nina Gouveia - Yoga Instructor - Muse





This scarlet shawl makes me feel sad and happy .......Sad I miss my friend Alex. Tea in his garden....many hours together in his studio or a lunch here or there. I like and am inspired by his excited mind and talent as a photographer, plus he has a determined passion. Happy because times with Alex ...I left feeling smart and beautiful ....sometimes chastised ...but always in a way that made me smile and know I could not call his bluff. I love the scarlet shawl. I love the history and the color. Many times posing for Alex I was not wearing much, as with the shawl, I never felt exposed . When we worked together we would spend hours in his studio bouncing ideas off each other, it was like a dancing of intuition, of what the next pose would be ...sometimes no words were needed. They were magical times. Years earlier he took a photograph of me holding a bulls head nude .....poetry ...the scarlet scarf, the bulls head ....for shadowing, as I now live in Spain. I miss being Tina Modotti.
