My Old Flame

I uploaded this yesterday, changed its name, then decided I didn't like it so well as I thought--and deleted it.

This morning, I like it again, but from a new perspective: the memory of an old love. You still feel a bit of the love...you hold on to it, in spite of new loves--and yet, you see them as through a glass, darkly...not their current reality, but an idealized and wispy Romantic Memory.

The model is the lovely Emma, and I've used textures from --specifically, from (one of the abstract painting packages) and ("webbed, vol II).

Enjoy! (And don't be surprised if I delete it again, this evening! I seem to be mighty ambivalent about this piece! )

BTW...she does, in fact, have a tiny tiny bit of a lazy eye--not something you notice in real life, or at least I didn't--but it shows a bit more, in some of the photos I took. I think this one accentuates it a little--but I like the way it makes her look a little more unusual in this image.
