It is fun to return to a piece that you have completed and have not looked at for quite some time. I like how this one came together.....the colors look amazing.....the purple thing is an eggplant but you might not know that from looking here.

 All of the human images used in this series came from copyright free images.  I imported them into Photoshop and colorized them as they were totally black and white previously.

Every time I look at this piece I am drawn to the female figure and think the black mouth is a mustache!
