Pat Benatar Rock Concert by Carol by CC by Carol featuring black handbags

For all you girls who are independent, passionate, wild at heart, deep, strong, sensitive, alive, and love rock! Here are some lyrics by Pat Benetar's Shadows of the Night...

"We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

You said - oh girl, its a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
Cause we got nobody else

Chorus:

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast
Use every alibi and words you deny
That love aint meant to last
You can cry tough baby, its all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight

Were running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

(repeat chorus)

now the hands of time are standing still, midnight angel won't you say you will.

(repeat chorus)"

Her lyrics rock! Love, Carol

I love this artist/painter, Genevieve Pfieffer. I discovered her works earlier this year and many of her paintings in her collection have a feminine lady riding a bicycle, with a basket (Couture Cruiser's look) filled with pretty flowers. Notice the bird along for a ride on the back, her white dress as to not distract from the focal object, the bicycle, in the boldest colors on the canvas, particularly the two wheels, frame, and fenders. Observe her mood...she is carefree, confident and relaxed. This is depicted by the position of her head, facing up as if she hasn't a care in the world, her upright torso position, as well as the positioning of her feet, almost as if they are self propelled. The sitting bird also indicates that she is moving at a leisurely speed, and the meadow back drop reveals that the day is calm in the country. Her wide brimmed hat and striped socks protect her pale complexion and unveil that it is a sunny day. Genevieve's soothing color palette and flat brush strokes as well as a softened acrylic medium all convey her feelings quite well. This artist's collection is simply...beautiful~

The boardwalk of Newport Beach, CA....the perfect place to go for a cruise on your bicycle...let the day just carry you away...the beach, the ocean, the sound of palm frawns in the wind, it is dreamy and sooo pretty, especially on a quiet day in the sunny winter.
