You Looking at Me?
by Victoria Morris Ekelund on 2/7/2010 12:24:13 PM




Here is a painting I have been working on for a few months. I had set my camera on the table at a local Bistro called Z-Cuisine. The flash had mistakenly gone off, which caught the attention of one of the patrons. My camera was initially pointed at the second table, but when I turned the flash off, this gentleman was looking right at me as I clicked the shutter again. I thought the interplay between the two tables came out well. Four people, three different things going on. The original reference photo has more light on the figures, but I went for a more local tone approach. That way, I could focus more attention where I wanted it.

The man looking up is viewing an art piece that is the chandelier. It is interesting to note that the majority of people who have seen this piece, think they know the man looking at the camera.
