freefallin'


           
The inspiration for this surrealistic composition was from some photos of two acrobats performing inside the foyer of a city building in Austin.  This one selected pose looked as if she were diving into a pool.  The second image, the splash, was downloaded from the Internet.  It is cover art to a piano music CD that was cropped and layered under the blue field.  The orange background was a psychedelic pattern that was transformed, stretched and adjusted in saturation.  The gradation in the blue below, was created by accident by trying to color stamp and/or paint with a large brush.  It was stretched and cropped to work in the area below.  

The choice of complimentary colors, blue and orange, add excitement and liveliness
to this freeze frame moment.  (Freeze Frame?  Free Fallin'?  Am I dating
myself?)
