All alone in a crowded room.

I usually work with Turner Classic Movies on in the background and I wrote down a terrific line from a movie a couple of days or weeks ago.

We all make believe we're somebody else --one way or another.

Of course, I did forget to also write down what movie this was from or the context but perhaps that isn't nearly as important as the line itself.  Both that line and the title of this painting seemed to be running over and over in my head while working on this piece.  It also made me think about a book I recently finished by Iris Murdoch entitled The Black Prince.  The ending of the book was quite shocking and a reminder that others often see us much differently than the way we hope to be perceived.
