This piece is called "Enlightningment," a tongue-twister of a name but a way to combine lightning with enlightenment to describe this figure. She holds a lightning bolt which pierces her right hand and has a surprised look on her face, as one might when suddenly struck with an "ahah!" idea. Just for fun I made her hair stand on end with zig-zag copper wires, suggesting a cartoonish representation of an electric shock. She won a Patron's Purchase Prize at our state fair this year - it was the first time I had shown her, and she was gone before I knew it! I do miss her; she's one of my favorites.
