A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a lady who told me she was interested in selling my work. I met up with M and her business Partner D this afternoon after work. I thought the meeting went really well. They have an excellent retail background and now run a very successful business. This side of their services is new to them both and they are clearly highly motivated, very knowlegable and I was very impressed by what they had to say. They were extremely complimentary about my pictures and I think we would work really well together. Their project sounds very exciting and I am flattered to have been considered.

Today's picture is from the wedding I did in the Cotswolds a couple of weeks. I have been playing around with layers in Photoshop. It was just an idea I had. Laura Ashley were selling packs of small pieces of wallpaper which were perfect for what I wanted to experiment with. I scanned in the pattern, overlayed it onto the picture, reduced the opacity and then erased the top layer around the bride. I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts. I'm still experimenting as I thought it might be quite effective to 'decorate' negative space in an image, or as in this case, to add interest to a wall.
