  1. chiaroscuro...what a cool word....both in art (the light and dark) and in singing ( the optimal balance of clearness and darkness)...tight little piece with lots of meaning audrey

  2. It fits real nice! There's def sharp contrast. I like my painting that way too as it brings out the 3 dimensional feel. Nicely Audrey!

    The scene set by a simple suggestion and hint of movement. A superb link with the image, in a very succinct manner.
