Click here for Aretha Franklin, Spirit in the Dark.

then click back on this blog tab or here to listen as you browse, or not?

Texas Diva is not a step-by-step, but instead, a section by section.

As you can see above, she was long and lean, a 8 x 40"canvas. 

So I did close-ups.

Primarily tissue paper on canvas, with marker for outlining.

I hear she's kicking it in New York.

  I commented:  long.jacki This is joyous Irene! It brought back a funny memory. When little, my friend Gretchen’s Grandma would never allow three of us to play together. She said someone always got left out. I’d forgotten.

   Irene replied:irenerafael@long.jacki Im thrilled it brought back this memory! I love hearing your stories.

Actually I had forgotten all about Gretchen & her Grandma, 

but there it popped up, seeing Irene's art!

Does that happen to you, "out of the blue"

My question to you kind reader, 

what childhood rule do you remember?

From someone else's parent or your own? 

I would love to hear and I'm hoping you might share?

A smile for Wednesday ...
