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.

    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?

    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!!!

  • Emma  Wertheim

    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

    Emma Wertheim

    oh and one more thing…I have the song in my head too now!!!!
    :)
    :)

  • MoonSpiral replied

    Not like it is such a bad one to get stuck in your head though!

    Thankyou sweet Jewd!!!!

  • Emma  Wertheim

    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…........!!!
