The Light

This watercolour was chosen as a suitable image for an old frame I wanted to use. At first, it looked as though it was going to work really well.

That was before I realised that the watercolour paper was not long enough to fit the frame.

I cut a canvas to fit the frame and added a top and bottom to the image. 

I was going to use a mount, but realised that it would cut too much off the width of the image of the Lighthouse. So I continued the light upwards, and the shadows downwards, to fill the space of the frame. As my daughter pointed out, the unframed version was a much finer image.
