This woman knows her power.

Confidence exudes streaming songs.

Able to orchestrate pheromone symphonies.

Words from ad: true, accurate, exquisite, entertaining, licensed, spotlight, beauty, colorful tone, rich, skillful, brilliant, superb, now.

I was going to cut out the white filled area in her face. Then, I realized that I had made an incision where the nasal cavity would be. I had cut directly into the center of her face - made me think of surgery, skulls, Egyptian embalming and mummification processes, Canopic Jars, and extracting the brain through the nostrils.

Publications are over different decades 1930, 60, 80, 90’s. Despite the spectrum of time, the color stories and patterns compliment each other marvelously.

Advertising remains true - thread of core words and value.

This piece sings. The subject pops right off the page. She appears to be putting her hair up and posing. The men seem to be playing their violins for her. What is colorful tone? He beauty radiates - you can HEAR the difference. You can almost FEEL the colors.

What music to you hear? What record are you putting on? Does it make you feel like her?

Locolor - local color. Loco - crazy color.

Have you ever lost yourself in music? Paused to admire a painting.

This image calls me to melt into the Muse. Let me slide and surf the waves of music and inspiration.
