Wyn, Pastel Pencil on Strathmore Paper
Size 40cm x 30cm (mount size 50cm x 40cm)
Our house guest (my mother-in-law) has now returned home. However, on her last day we went for a lovely walk in the unseasonal sunshine and she kindly obliged me and my camera. I took several pictures in the shade. None were very inspiring but I thought I'd be able to make something of them. However, as we came out of the trees, with our backs to the sun, the light caught Wyn's hair and I just had to capture the moment. The result was a lovely photo which Wyn approved of too.
The frames of the glasses are unframed so it could be tempting to draw in edges where they aren't obvious or leave them out altogether. None of these approaches would have worked. I just trusted that observing the same level of detail as always, that something of value would happen - and indeed I think it works. Hope you agree.
