There was a call to come up with an image for a mural for the Old Town School of Music in Chicago. It is a wonderful venue for music and dance. Instead of 'reinventing the wheel' I decided to refer back to some of my paintings for inspiration, many of which featured elements of music and dance. I've always been intrigued with idea of mixing up and combining images and was clear how to do it, until I discovered Photoshop. It makes almost anything possible and allows for solutions that I could never have imagined or created. I feel as though I am somehow cheating. Technically what I've posted is a bit clunky. But still, the potential for new ideas and discoveries is infinite. Now all I have to do is submit images and see what happens.
