I like the sensuous lines in this simple pose. My daughter Jane is used to her dad snapping photos at any time. She was helping me at the marina when I took this. I can’t remember what we were doing or why I had my camera with me. About 20% of my photos get into my studio kit, as this one did.

I followed my usual procedure: pencil drawing fixed with ink then covered with a varnish-based ground. I am also experimenting with oil/egg emulsions for grounds. I’ve prepared several canvas boards with emulsion.
