NAKED TRUTH
I painted each of the letters in the word truth for NAKED TRUTH to mimic different skins. Of course “skin deep” is a great term implying that one needs to dig deeper than the the topical surface. In humans, just beneath the skin it is all blood, tissue, muscle and bone; it may vary in size, scale, density, and “health” but the blood is still carmine, not blue, unless you are a limulus (the pre-historic horseshoe crab).
“A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and
may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
