Long time ago I was visiting the Island of Pag in Yugoslavia (at that time) There were many old women, all dressed in black. However on the photo my mother took I was the centerpoint at age 19, full of life and hapiness. I made a painting of it, but instead putting myself on canvas, I painted those old women in black, the way I saw it.

LITTLE GIRL TAP DANCING BEAT, MUSTY CURL, ONE UNSUSPECTING MAY SUDDENLY YESTERDAY...EXCELLENT WORK, RITA. SOBERING AND MOODY. SORRY IT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE AND SOMETIMES THE WORDS JUST FOOLISHLY COME OUT. THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT ALBUM COVER FOR A SONG, TO ME IT HAS SUCH ENDLESS POSSIBILLITIES.Ambrus Diossy 02 Sep 2006
