Kathy writes: “The poster art is so fantastic in the collections. This one caught my eye for color and design. The text titles didn’t seem to go with the drawing - but I saw the young dancer as who the matron was in her own soul and mind - forever young. By “ghostly fading” in and out one can get a glimpse of the mind’s eye. It was a struggle on whether to include new text or assume the meaning would be conveyed with the fading. I decided to leave the added text in as added context in a world of scanning and click thrus to capture the thought.”

Kathy writes: “The original poster was more abstract and the woman was overlooking a city from a mountain top. She seemed to be one with nature so I added a sunrise/sunset from a dock overlooking water and most importantly to me the skies moving as she gazes. She seems at peace and nature providing its beauty as reward.”
