@annied thankyou Annie ") he only did a small number of paintings so you might have to just take an idea from him and run with it, window light, people doing stuff, music... I really wanted to do the one where a man is clutching the woman's breast but I daren't get the man involved lol

Great composition and lighting, looks very serene.

Lovely warmth to this shot not only in lighting but that jumper looks cosy... never had the need for a jumper over here except high up in the mountains where it gets cold and the fires are toasty warm in the highland's valleys.

[kali]

@bobfoto well thats a nice comment, I do love this jumper... I hope you will still comment from time to time, you have to do something with your spare time....

[kali]
