Illustration Friday - Secret

Secrets
approximately 28 x 14 inches
mixed media on paper with digital editing

I have a fondness for images that leave a large amount of detail to the imagination.  They hold secrets that can only be whispered in the imagination.  This is a digital enhancement of a large mixed media drawing that I completed about October of last year.  Is there a secret between these girls, or the birds at their feet?  What are the untold details of story, time, and setting?  I feel like I could write a whole book based on this image alone, but I think I will keep it a secret. :)

On a less secretive note: the move from Texas to New York has gone relatively smoothly.  I completed my Masters of Art in Art Education degree in May, and am now in a full swing job hunt for a new teaching gig in NY.  I am just beginning to find time to create some new work, and to dip my toes in the Central New York art scene.  Next Friday I will be participating in an event called 60/60 at the Everson Art Museum in Syracuse.  Sixty artists will create sixty individual works of arts in a 60 minute time period.  The artworks will then be raffled off as a fund raiser for the museum. I am looking forward to the event but I am also a little nervous about completing a finished work in such a short time period. I plan to spend much of this coming week prepping as much as possible and solidifying an idea for the composition.  I'll be sure to post a picture of the finished piece after the event next week
