Today's picture comes complete with an interesting story. Principal cello with Orchestra London, Christine Newland, used her Mac's built-in camera and iPhoto to create a picture of herself behind a Venetian-style green feather mask. She then took the image, quickly created a dry pastel sketch on black paper and, using her computer camera again, photographed her art.Recently Newland has been rekindling her interest in the visual arts by doing quick sketches and e-mailing copies to her friends. If you're interested in having a work of art by Christine Newland, she does portraits of loved ones or pets for clients.
