Curtain Call

Trish Woodford

Curtain Call

An experiment with some drying out iris petals, some pink cello and a lamp. Threw in some texture layers and this is what it turned out like.
It is probably a stretch, but to me they look a little like ballerinas with winged costumes peering from behind the curtain before the show looking out into the audience. Ok – its a stretch but its what I see (at almost 11pm at night…..lol).

    Excellent work and colours Trish.
    And yes, I agree with you about the ballerinas.

  • Trish Woodford replied

    Hey Richard, many thanks for that – wasn’t sure if it translated, glad you could see it too, enjoy your weekend :))

    OK so I’m the only one who can’t see the ballerinas! but it is a delicate abstract, trish and a great departure from the comfort zone! well done

  • Trish Woodford replied

    Thanks Nadine, did the brightness shock you lol :))) Thought is was time for an injection of colour into my folio! Ok – so the straight stick piece is the hand holding back the curtain and then the curved petal is the body and head with the wing sticking up, can you see it now ? Alright so maybe its a stretch lol, time for bed :)
