the first kiss is the sweetest

Is it obvious I've been reading up on Gustav Klimt? 


Right now I have beside me Eva di Stefano's "Gustav Klimt Art Nouveau Visionary" which is a tomb of a book but has almost every work produced by Klimt reproduced in colours as well as black and white. 


I like to think I have my own language and won't be influenced by anyone else and looking at great arts only serve to trigger the impulse to create when I feel stagnant. 


Thus there was a bit of a shock after I laid down the brushes and realised where the gold ground and red hair come from.
