When I was very young, I lived, for a time, with my father, his parents and his sister, my Aunt Charlene, who was 10 years older then I was. She had many friends that came over while she sat me, all of who I thought I wanted to be like. I remember the Candy Apple red Camaro one of her boyfriends would drive up to the house in, thinking to myself, WOW!!! I remember hearing the Cars for the first time "Shake It Up" on the radio and it was burned into my brain. It was one of the first groups I ever liked. When I listen to their music, any song, I remember being introduced to the kind of fun that I was not old enough to participate in yet, feeling cool like one of the older kids, though I was not. Having a feeling of an electricity that was about to come, knowing in my future, I would never let anyone see the ugly duckling I was. When they all left , I could still listen and daydream about how cool I would be and what I would waste no time doing.
When I hear this music, I always feel cool and electric, no matter what!
What a trip...still.

BAM!!!! Wow, Amy, there you are; true to form.
This one is amazing! Thank you for posting. I missed lookin' in the window at what you can do. Your ability with the human face is just astounding. I love the two faces on the same canvas. Monochromatic, too...
The Cars .... I remember them. You haven't missed one step in the time that you left painting alone.
Excellent job. I hope it's hanging somewhere in the house.
Love you,
Mom
