An earlier post contained small pictures of Moroccan people caught on camera. I was interested in developing these images with larger works and had an afternoon spare. So I’ve used a simple backdrop, continuing with the theme of arches, to try this out. There is a story and balance to the picture and I’ve kept it simple. There are more colours in the walls that I normally use, which I think has worked.
