Three Muses Challenge - Masks

The lady with the soulful eyes is from E-vint.com which is a great source for thousands of vintage photos (I do not work for them!!).  Background and elements by Irene Alexeeva (sadly retired from designing) and the mask was Googled.

  1. This piece is quite striking, Marie. I love the words that are embedded in the art... if only we could all just "be ourselves!"

  4. I agree about E-vint Marie. I've purchased once a few sets but strange enough I rarely use them .
    But then, every time when i watch your pieces made with E-vint images i'm impressed by the way how you transform them.
    BTW...the color scheme is also very well done !!!

  7. What a fabulous background with so many harmonic colored layers, I'm excited, and among the masked face with the mystery look. LOve that grandiose composition very much.

  11. Those soulful eyes draw me right through the mask and out into the glorious layers beneath, Marie. A wondrous feast for my eyes.
