T'was the Night Before Christmas...
Christmas is usually associated to white snow, as well as silver, gold, red, green and other bright colours. Last year I bought a couple of black tabletop Christmas trees to decorate the boys’ rooms, and I pulled them out to play with a monochromatic Christmas theme.
Very low key, I used my little reading lamp as a single source of light in a completely dark room and a slow shutter speed. I painted the subject with it.

There is something kind of sexy about this. Might sound strange but that is the first thing that popped into my head….”oh…this is kind of sexy”! Great work Johanne :)
