The Human Canvas - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed

 

 

Melissa.

I'm normally bad with names,

but she mentioned the Allman Brothers,

to help me remember. Melissa. Or was it Jessica?

Melissa.

 

I'm posting this on Labor Day.

This, the last piece done on July 4th of this year.

This is also the last piece SINCE then.

Good thing Shaelyn's back in town.

 

 

Speaking of whom,

Shaelyn's gotten the only

other seahorses canvased so far.

These ones were something to occupy the

space just this side of that coral ridge - defined

by the edge of her arm.

 

 

Then, that coral ridge

became a little cave or archway for this octopus...

 

 

...To call home.

 

But back to Elizabeth Reed.

Elizabeth? Hang on...

Melissa!

 

This seahorse was gonna be a bit different.

So, start with a quick outline...

 

And add in some color,

which'll be just a background color, really.

 

ONE of the background colors, that is.

 

A good time was had by all...

 

Hey! Look over here!

 

Thank you. Nice shot.

Back in black then. Wait.

That's AC/DC. This is Allman Brothers.

Back in WITH SOME black, then.

 

Step back - add a TOUCH more...

 

A bit of background...

 

And just a BIT more

black for some definition...

 

And that's that.

 

Well, except later in the evening, after a hike,

one more nice shot.

 

Jessica? Elizabeth Reed? Eat a Peach?

Man, that Allman Brothers reference

was SUPPOSED to help me

keep it straight!

 

Melissa!

Thank you Melissa.

SO nice to have metcha. I don' know where,

but we're GONNA do this again.

 

And thanks to everyone

posting, this site has received just a bit over 20,000

visits in ALMOST two years. Thanks to all who've come

by, and thank you all the more for sharing

this with someone who might

appreciate it.

 

And, of course, thanks for lettin' me

draw on YOU next!
