Tangerine
9×12 pastel on Tiziano paper
I can’t seem to get “Tangerine” by Led Zeppelin out of my head right now. “The Living reflection of a dream”. What kind of woman inspired those words? Some songs just get lodged in your head and stay there for days and days.

Tangerine belongs to the following groups:
1 on 1: The Fine Art of Portraiture , * Painted Ladies *, Contemporary Pastel Painters (2 per day), Feminine Intent (LIMIT TWO IMAGES PER DAY), Got Melanocortin-1? , Music Inspired Art (M.I.A) music links/lyrics required, Outsiders, Pets and People, THE SISTERHOOD and Vibrant and Vivid Color Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Thanks so much Lee!!!
Deborah Holman
very nice work and I love Led Zeppelin too
MoonSpiral replied
Yeah, how can you not? I wasn’t born until 1975, but listening to Zeppelin as a teen helped “open my mind”. I wonder if teenagers are still going through their Zeppelin phase today?
Jan Landers

Mwahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
BLYTHART
Great eyes … and you’ve done a good job of the nose. One of my pet hates is drawing noses … they end up looking like black caves when I do them :)
MoonSpiral replied
Yeah I know exactly what you mean. I still struggle with noses the most…probably why I work in pastels…very forgiving…teehee!!!
marak
moony you just keep getting better better
MoonSpiral replied

Tahnja
Wow Tammy, she just about jumped out at me on my watchlist and what a beauty she really is. Brilliant work this
MoonSpiral replied
I am honored by your words Tahnja!!!
Emma Wertheim
Wow…she is so beautiful!! I LOVE Led Zeppelin …..their songs are so full of feminin beauty and masculinity – all at once…..!
:)
MoonSpiral replied
Interesting observation w/ Zep. When you watch Jimmy Page sing this you see how he moves in a feminine way, yet he is very masculine too. It is like the greatest artists are able to balance those forces within themselves and then birth something divine.
MoonSpiral replied
oops…I totally meant to say Robert Plant, not Jimmy Page…der!!!!
Emma Wertheim
oh and one more thing…I have the song in my head too now!!!!
:)
:)
MoonSpiral replied
Once again….mwahahahaha…
Not like it is such a bad one to get stuck in your head though!
Jewd
She’s penetrating, those big blue pools…
MoonSpiral replied
Thankyou sweet Jewd!!!!
Emma Wertheim
.....You are right!! I’m happy to have this song floating around in my head!!... .....Yeah…Led Zep are a very special band! The Rain Song is also a beauty…and of course Stairway to Heaven (another example of the masculine and feminine melding together in perfect harmony!)...and so on…........!!!
Sally Omar
