Day 12: Coffee Pot in Winter Light

During my time with Nicola today we noticed that,  in the winter light from the window, the edges of her coffee pot merged away into the softly darkening winter light. The Danish coffee pot became a soft almost ghost like shape which accentuated the simple classical shape.

I said at the time that when we had finished the coffee, I would love the draw it but we got waylaid with chit chat and when it came time to draw ... the light had moved.

I had to recapture it so we had to adjust the setting. The pot was placed on an old shoe box to lift it back into the light and a cloth was draped over a chair and the box to disguise them and make the arrangement more interesting. There it was .... back again ... the disappearing edges of the coffee pot in winter light.

Perfect ... because some things simply are.
