Q. She's a bit overdressed to be selling popcorn. What attracted you to these images?
A. I'm sure I was attracted to each for different reasons: First, the princess's blue satin dress with all its folds and highlights and secondly the bold red and white lines that form a stark contrast to the neoclassical genre. I can't explain how the everyday image connected with the old master in my head as I was walking the paths of our local county fair. It took a while to adjust the two images so they fit but the result was very satisfactory.
