Unearthing one more treasure -

"The Tango Judges II"
digital collage by Mick Mather

A stroke of luck this week at Illustration Friday. I just happened to have an old piece dedicated to that same theme, tango, and I'm now able to finish the work week with one more image befitting Seth Apter's project, Buried Treasure.

Illustration Friday: Theater -

"Theater"

... the flowering trees and shrubs
performed their emergent dance
like theater-in-the-round
in riots of color and bloom ...

Skip to my Lou -

"Dancin' in the Dark"
digital collage by Mick Mather

If you can recall the old children's song, "Skip to My Lou", all you need do is get to singing out loud until the meter hits the groove. At that point, the image in tonight's post will make a bit more sense when viewed as a young girl working through the steps at a Saturday night community sing and dance. Alright then boys 'n girls, clap your hands and tap your feet and repeat after me: "Lost my partner, what'll I do? Lost my partner, what'll I do? I'll find another girl, prettier than you! Skip to my Lou my darlin'".
