I finished this today.
At least I think it's finished.
Not terribly happy with this photo as I am missing about an inch of empty space to the right. One day I will get around to finding out how to crop images instead of just bunging them in as they come on the camera.
Anyway, it depicts part of the Brontë menagerie: Flossy the dog, Victoria and Adelaide the geese and Little Dicky the canary. There were cats too and a falcon and other dogs but I think it had to be a case is less is more for this image. Paring back is generally the best bet.
The animals seemed to have mostly belonged to Emily and Anne. Charlotte could, apparently, take them or leave them. Patrick Brontë their father had a couple of dogs called Cato and Plato in his last years.
I quite fancy doing a picture of those three. Possibly outside the church. In the snow.
Mmmmm ... time to do some thinking with my biro and book.
Its a very strong image and with the background info even stronger.
ReplyDeleteLove it! and love seeing how you go about the research (previous post).
ReplyDeleteI have finally mastered how to crop photos after a lot of trial and error!
