Having created this CD cover and digital painting on the computer using a mouse per usual, I have been pleased that so many people who know both myself and Trish - say how much it captures us.
Capturing a likeness isn’t a sure thing. Many times an artist feels he has captured the essence, yet very few, if any see it.
I used no photos to refer to or even start with, but I am pleased with the results. Our postures, the way we are holding hands, and the look on our faces grabs ahold of something essential.
I don’t know exactly how I pulled it off or even sure that I could routinely - but it does somehow capture us. Since so much of the music is about us and the play on words of dansingnew - what a totally appropriate cd cover and actually better than I expected it to come out.
