Howja do this Shanina? I mean it is simply impossible to find anything more in Monroe’s image, right? Everyone knows that. But.. but… here you’ve captured another essence. How did you look at what all the rest of us have looked at a bazillion times and found yet a new vision? Cool.
Thanks Ted….it’s a bits I see of her out of the corner of my eye, my memory of old movies…maybe it’s because I started as a graphite artist I see the bare essentials first;)
