No, not really..this is a portrait of one of my oldest friends, Julie.
I feel a kind of compulsion to link 2 months themes together so Yellow and Trees means a yellow tree for the first day of the month and so on… Well here we leave Trees and begin Portraits so what better way to begin than with a friend draped in a tree.
I was tempted to add elongated ears to push the image further towards Lord of the Rings but I don’t think she’d consent!
I removed most of the colour except around her face. I put a pale blue hue back into the eyes and messed around a bit with noise and light.

This lovely lovely lady is Nicky. She is working at a seriously strategic level into education, not just in Wales but beyond…! -including Palma as it so happens (very exciting for me). Nicky has connected the two places in order to share, change and develop good practice in schools that will particularly benefit those kids that don’t always fit the system so well. Changing the system! If I knew more about the project I’d share it but it is in the very first stages and I’m waiting to see..
She’s a firey women with a lot of vision, buckets of courage and a huge heart x
