Sometimes the best portraits are the ones that say nothing instantly; the ones that draw you in and make you wonder. My favourite kind really.
When I stare at this portrait of Willow I see so much more than if she were looking at me smiling. I see a little hand delicately holding onto the side of the basket…perhaps for a little support, not sure of the environment.
I see her little mouth ajar ever so slightly indicating her demeanour is not one for which I need worry.
Although I know what she’s looking at, I wonder what she’s seeing; what she’s thinking.
Her pose lasted for mere seconds but now my memories of it last forever…
