Naive Melody close up of this arts version of a musical tie, which this is an example: In music a tie is used to add the value of the second note to the first.  In this art a tie is something that is fun and adds character and depth, and interest, and surprise, and curiosity, and wonderment.

This work is near completion.  Now, begins the last hard part: letting go, and excepting that it is time to separate the artist from the artist work. This can take days.  The artwork grows from a blank canvas to a complete image that is harmonic and unique. Like a child leaving home to live their own life, these works are expected to do just that, and when finished they demand that they do.
