We were returning home along the Lakeshore when I noticed the light was rather spectacular. It was not sunny and it was not cloudy. There was a high cloud cover that blocked out the sun but it was not a dark cloudy day. There was a strong luminosity, rather like my northern window. It obliterated all the shadows yet left the colour saturated.
I thought it might make a brilliant black and white photo so I drove home to fetch my camera. I made a 13 by 19 inch version and I think it works well.
Then I drew it and tinted the drawing.
This is a picture of a good friend's house that just looked stunning in this light.
I often make my house portraits taller and thinner because I think it gives them a certain magical dignity; like standing up proudly for a family portrait.
