Manipulate... it's what I do.

Images.
Not people.
Well- I try not to manipulate people since it usually backfires.

But back to the images.
New pieces I've been working on for sale.
The original artist was Rolf Armstrong, great illustrator of the mid-20th century. Specialty? Pin-Up Girls for calendars and magazine covers. He had the most incredible grasp of reflected light upon skin. His favorite model? Jewel Flowers. Even her name suits her when painted by him.

Here's what it looked like and what I've done to it.

Needed it square-ready and it just seemed like her dress needed to be a little more flamboyant. Because her name is Jewel- I figured there needed to be some sparkle and glitter and her last name Flowers is now symbolized; since she's dancing- well... there needed to be some music dontcha think?
