A Little Moment

High Noon on the Plaza 12" x 12" Pastel on board-Honey Lea Gaydos

I saw this woman serving drinks. She looked very exotic to me.  I loved the way the light of high noon cast strong shadows on her hair and features. It was very tricky to create the glow of sunlight on her face. I loved the way her curly hair was resisting being subdued into a straight style. There was only a moment to note the light as she moved quickly on to the next table.  Really seeing in the moment is so much of what making art is all about to me.
