While in New Orleans I was walking along and began talking to this girl.  She had wonderful skin and beautiful tones, So I asked if I could paint her and she happily agreed,  It's been a while but finally I had some time to paint her, I love her bright blouse and head scarf against her gorgeous dark skin.

I called her "CONNECTION" because of the juxtaposition of new technology with the traditional head wrap.  This was an insight from my son Kyle who said it looks like traditional and technology entwining.
... if you are just glancing at the painting as you rush on by, you may make the "connection" because of the cell phone call...
