The party animal
I took these shots myself - so now you can see why I am so
happy to have my images photographed by Real Photographers instead
of being left to my own devices.
Jo contacted me about going to a uni. ball as a tiger (for a Jungle Theme).
These were taken during and after we'd the painting and she was all set
to rush out the door and drive home in full tiger war-paint. [A great
temptation to snarl out the driver's window if anyone upset her
on the freeway, no doubt?]
The full ensemble. (Jo and her mum were busily plotting last-minute
changes as they drove off, plotting to shorten the skirt, etc.)
Jo called after th eevent - and was still fizzing with excitement. She
was rated best costume for the night - and had a major impact when
walking through a crowded foyer at the casino on the way to the "after-party".
So - for your next ball-dress, think outside the square - think paint.
Thanks
Jo - thanks for the opportunity to paint you - and for being such
a cooperative canvas - and thanks to Jo's mum for being such a great
source of feedback as the first viewer of the finished ensemble. (I thought
we were going to need first-aid - so much excitement and enthusiasm! :)
