Sketch

I'll need to download GIMP again and figure out how to use it so that I can edit photos.  I have one that was taken in poor lighting and - well, let's see how it comes out without lightening it up.

This was a small set of sketches for the color scheme I want.  I still haven't settled on a pose.  I'll also have to struggle with my training for realism when I want something less so - should be interesting to see what I come up with, whether a personal voice or signature will emerge.  Colorwise I'm inspired by Chagall for this image and would like something of the sort, though I don]t want to mimic him for style.  

As of late yesterday I want a pair of images.  I want Mina in midair, a little more surreal.  This is because I have never seen Dana dance. I'm spending the morning looking at  search results for images, and few of them really communicate dancing to me.  They all look more like acrobatics.  I  want something that really does look like something in motion.  I may have to watch YT vids and freeze them at appropriate moments.
