Hi all, this maybe cheating a little but recently my time has been limited and I really loved this challenge. My husband's Mother, at 91, is finally slowing down mentally and our daughter is fighting an illness. We are spending lots of time away from home, both live in NC.
At any rate I loved this challenge and it brought to mind the image that I recently recently finished for an exhibit at The Art's Center in Clemson, SC. The exhibit was titled Painting the Blues and was part of a local Blue's Festival.
I Chose a portrait of Miss Lena Horn and used the Gestalt Principal of closure. I chose a piece of fabric with music notes as the background with black over top. I manipulated the image in PSE until I had only the black and white image above.
The image is 12 x 17 and is matted and framed.

Very nice. Your choice of sheet music fabric instead of plain white truly adds emotion to your piece.
I agree, the music fabric is inspired!
Very striking and visually interesting. The music fabric just fits the bill and adds another layer of interest. Awsome answer to the challenge.

Thanks all, I felt that the music fabric was just right for this piece. I would love to do more with the Gestalt Principle.
The music really makes the piece sing
