somewhere i know there's something

preen's resort presentation is the stuff that fashion and dreams are made of. the stuff that breaks me down inside and leaves me shaky and crying because beauty and space and light...

it's funny. i read so many books on fashion and beauty in grad school. but i can't to save my life come up with the right words for why the third image - that grey sweater - makes me shudder. i wish i could. maybe it is because i can't think of ways to talk about it that i can't think of ways to make art about it... maybe that is why i can't pin down an idea worth making a painting about...

so. looking. instead. somewhat heavy-hearted. and yet. so joyful...
