John, is she holding your future there in her hands? She looks like a fortune teller.
And then I read the notes. Might have to come back to this one and think about it some more.
My mom always cut my hair when i was naughty & lost or broke the things she bought for my hair. Needless to say, I had short hair a lot. But then I'd tie a scarf around my head and pretend it was long flowing hair. The lines on the lower right reminds me of that.
My first thought was "she's about to tell me my fortune" then I looked at the comments. :) Well, it still stands - looks like a fortuneteller to me. I like how your shots make everything look as if we are peering through a gauzy curtain.
You have hit the gold vein with this one. Very impressionistic, and it connects with the inner "something" for a very pleasing effect. My first thought was two people dancing and she is admiring a ring in a box that she just recieved. I think this is the effect you have been looking for with this series of images.
It's a fav.
Large gold hoop earrings and arm bracelet, face looking up as if telling a fortune, and long hair flowing echo the feeling of a gypsy woman in her tent. The lumpy object in her hand is shaped like a potato, but makes me think of Eve offering an apple. The ambiguity stimulates a lot of thinking -- as is true of much of art. The observer's creativity is energized by the creativity of the artist. Now I am wondering what innovative turns you will take after the sharpless side challenge is over.
