Teal has always been one of my favorite colors.  My eyes are actually a dull blue/gray, but when I wear a teal top, it makes my eyes stand out. Once when I still wore glasses, someone at work came up to me and asked me if were wearing tinted contact lenses.  I played around with this image of my taken on my birthday wearing a teal dress.  I've been fascinated with Klimt's work lately, so I patterned this after one of his portraits of Adele.  On top of the big screen TV I stood in front of was a small picture of me as a child standing standing in front of a radio singing.  I already had a scan of the childhood portrait so I superimposed that in the image. I had a lot of fun in Photoshop with this prompt from <a href="http://dblogala.typepad.com/dblogala/">d'blogala</a>

Tempus Fugit started in the summer, but I finished doodling it and coloring it recently.  I hadn't heard the Rolling Stones song, "Time Waits for No one" in years, then I heard it twice on the radio in my car in one day.  The lyrics were hanging around in my head--they seemed a natural fit to finish off thepage.
