Let the sun shine in

Let the sun shine in

Watercolour on 180g pitted drawing paper. The original is deep red, orange and yellow – the scan darkened the red, but I like it like this. The model is from my scrapbook, probably a make-up or perfume advert.

It’s a bit of a counterpart to Slipping through my fingers ...

    ...it looks fantastic, sort of has that faded out sunshine seventies warm feeling about it, like a surf chick golden from the sun, with the surf on her mind….beautiful style x

  • Barbara Glatzeder replied

    thanks so much, Karin :-)) I’m happy about the glow, too … I never know how these are going to turn out, they’re soooo dependent on the colours. The yellow was strong enough in the end, thank goodness, that was a worry. xxx
