I see a second figure in the drawing of mother and child. The silhouette of her back forms a face, neck, arm, and chest. It's a misshapen face, neck, arm, and chest, but I see it all the same.
Genie, Yes, you are seeing the human form on the back of the mother. But I didn't want it too defined. This was originally a photograph of mother and child I saw someplace which I changed into a drawing using a technique called stippling. A self taught technique of all dots done with a pencil.
The cat was my first true love. The picture I took and developed myself. Both pictures have sentimental meaning.
Patsi -- I love the cat and the drawing. Do you also work in pastels? I picked up some a few months ago to try to get back into art. It's probably been almost 30 years, so I've got a lot to remember and improve upon! Stippling is something that I want to do with the pastels for an Impressionist look for a field of flowers. Cameron
Stunning photography on your blog! Love to meet bloggers with a passion for gardening and photography of flowers...and kitty cats! Love the first image on this post! purzzzzz....NG
Thank you, Patsi, for sharing both medium with us. Many years ago, as a young college student, I had a roommate who developed her own photographs (and let me participate a little). It was fun!
