Serendipity II – The Jockey 27.8.15 Pen and Ink
Matting and framing in the studio today. It’s always exciting and reassuring to see how an image can be transformed with a simple mat and appropriate frame around it.
Today was definitely a good day and in keeping with this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge from Cheri I have also put the above images in a Mesh gallery for comparison. If you have time I would be interested in your input comparing the two galleries in the pole below, particularly as I am not yet sure whether the Mesh gallery is the way to go. I suspect the Mesh developers would be interested too.
Many thanks.

Core Values 20.8.15
A little explanation of today’s post. Sifting through that bottom drawer again I came across this drawing from a class in 1981 in which the exercise was to draw an apple core without looking at the page.
It stimulated me to reproduce this lovely Red Delicious before and after I had munched my way through it using watercolour, ink, pencil, charcoal and pastel.
Some came out quite well although I have to admit the pastel was not a success as it is a medium with which I am not that familiar; something to work on.
