Was She Even Listening, watercolor, 13¾ x 18½" (35 x 47 cm)
I photographed Sylvia in my studio with large south-facing windows to her left. I was especially intrigued with the dappled light and shadow falling across her
face, hand and shoulder and was intent on capturing that in the painting. The undulating red and yellow striped blanket provided an exciting foil to her sunlit skin
and gesture—and the distant aspect of Sylvia’s expression suggested the title Was She Even Listening.
