"Let It Rip!" Artist's Quote

The 1920's and 30's.  What is it about that time that fascinates me? You know, some say that we have lived in another time period?  I don't know if I share that opinion but I do know that I am drawn to that era.  As an artist, my "Ladies of a Certain Era" contain a few of these.

One of my favorite sayings is "Let it Rip".  Do you find yourself saying the same thing in certain situations...like... "Go for it"?  Something along those lines.

"Let it Rip" for me means breaking loose, free, defying convention, wild abandon, tell it like it is, bust a move. (There are some quotes in there for sure).

Flappers "Let it Rip"!  They painted their faces, chopped, shingled and waved their hair, cut off their skirts to show a rather long view of their legs, hung out, drank, smoked and danced and danced.  Now, I'm not saying I'm up for all of that being a non-smoker and non-drinker (well, maybe a glass of wine).  But I have cut my hair in the Bob, I have shown my legs (while performing on stage) and being a former dancer.....welllll.

It's the concept of geity and individualization that I like and the sleekness and sophisication.  How wonderful to be able to express all of these attributes.

"Da Da Da Da"

  "Louise Brooks" starred in the silent film, "Pandora's Box".  I think that we women are certainly Pandora's containing many faces, many styles and many emotions...certainly geity and a sense of playfulness resides within all of us.

Soooooooooooo,"Let It Rip"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, hint, hint, soon to be available and pretty campy are three new canvases created in this spirit!
