About The Painted Lady

While looking for a nude model for his life drawing class, Zain Zook, sculptor, finds Rose, an itenerant model.  rose embodies all the physical attributes he has been seeking as the basis for a new series—The Lady with the Towel.

The arranged modeling sessions are put in abeyance by a gigantic storm.  Zain also takes in the flooded out neighbors and their four sets of twins.  All are stranded by washouts.

While waiting for the water to reced, Zain has time to photographo all the poses he needs for the new series.  As they work together each is becoming aware of the other on a different level.  Zain and Rose had to go over the hills on an anique tractor, dragging a hay trailer, to get food for the humans and critters.  Rose hitches a ride out on a helicopter before either can sort out their feelings.  Their lives take numerous turns before a second chance presents itself.
