XGreen Eyed Lady
12 x 12 $150 Acrylic & chalk pastel on heavyweight linen textured paper; sealed and ready for a standard size mat and frame.
Back in my days of waiting tables, we used to go to a bar after work where the musician would always sing "Brown Eyed Girl" and all the brown eyed girls would jump up and sing. One day, a co-worker introduced me to the funky 1970 song "Green Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf; he'd sing it to me all the time and then I had my own song too. (You must listen to it!)
"Green-eyed lady, lovely lady
Strolling slowly towards the sun
Green-eyed lady, ocean lady
Soothing every raging wave that comes"
