Images, images, images

The show is in 4 weeks. A little less, actually.

Am I nervous?
Yes.

Am I excited?
YES!

I just ordered canvas prints for the last two images and then I'm all set to go. Let me tell you a bit about both, because, as you can tell, they are very different.

Macondo Dreams by EEG

For this image I had the model first, which almost never happens. She's a beautiful young lady visiting from Italy and as soon as I met her I thought of one of my favorite painters, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Luckily, she didn't object when I asked her to pose for me. The title came after my mom, looking at this image, reminded me of my favorite book of all times: One Hundred Years of Solitude. Lots of favorites in this image. :-)

Down the Rabbit Hole by EEG

For this second image I had the idea first, which is not always a good thing as I often end up with something totally different than what I originally had in mind. I wanted to show a woman falling down the Rabbit's Hole. I wanted a very dramatic pose and a very dramatic dress. Adding drama over drama, she ended up looking dead. While by all means not the picture you'd want to hang in your living room, I think this is an attention grabber, so it'll go in the show. If nothing else, I'm hoping it'll draw some curiosity in a casual passer-by, enough to make them want to step inside the gallery. :-)
