Description
This image invites creative thinking - is it a face with long hair or a figure in a bikini? Use your imagination. Note the delicate change in texture in the lower blue/grey portion, the patterning of wave-like stripes in the light grey, the variable polka dots in the two vertical stripes. This image has lots going on and all of it seems happy.
