Nascha
....don’t call us, we’ll call you…. I’ve been a casting agent but those are words I have never used because I heard them all too often myself! get’s a bit difficult when you have a 70 year old audtioning in a clown outfit and showing you how she can still do cartwheels though. xx

hehehe..now that would be something to see Nascha;)
Carolyn Cable

Vicki Ferrari
Shanina, absolutely stunning, your art here is amazing, the melding of legs and cigarette smoke and it feels like I am sitting behind someone in a darkened theatre, looking over their shoulder! I can almost taste the ciggie (and I gave up two and a half years ago!!) Wow! You keep outdoing yourself!
Shanina Conway replied
Vicki, I’m so glad you got that feel of the darkened theatre, just what I was working at…not the ciggies though!...I keep trying and experimenting on the neverending learning curve;)

in my younger years (a long time ago !), I did manage a few jazz musicians in Paris and I did encounter some of them...
not the best memories of course, but we did have 1 or 2 good surprises…

Graham Farquhar
This puts me in mind of Jack Vettriano. A Scottish artist from… I think… Fife, who specialises in images that are a bit erotic and slightly seedy. Alienation seems to feature strongly, too – people not quite connected to each other.
Anyway, your picture reminds me of some of his and that’s entirely down to the hand in the foreground
Shanina Conway replied
Hi Graham, thank you…I’ve long admired Vettriano’s work so it’s a wonderful compliment;)
missmilly
An awesome image! Well done Shanina! Milly
