and it's getting late there. better go get them. very nice. love the way they are looking up.

Well Mike, I'm only back for a couple of comments in each gallery today, which is always hard; and I've so loved this series---and the newer one you just started---it's gonna be hard to choose. I gotta add, the choices I make are not because the others are any less to me; they're just 'representative'. (I wanted to do the woman in the cage, the woman dancing on that Chinese bonsai holder, the women preparing for the gala, and it goes on. Loved how you did the 'stage' in that one...But since I want to do one of your recent fractals too, I gotta make choices.)

I chose this because it's so typical of how you handle 'solo' pieces---this time, with two women against those great surf boards, and all that darkness. (I assume those are surf boards!) I love the strong light on them, and your idea that someone drove up and shone their truck light on them. They stand out so boldly, as a result.

The women look like they've been taken out of private thought---they're looking up with a bit of surprise and even suspicion. And they look---as with all your models---beautiful and poised. Your models often look like dancers---not just when they're dancing, but also when they're standing, sitting, etc. You do these so well. Wonderful work. I love the feeling that these two are sitting in the middle of the cosmos...
