June Photo A Day - Day 4: Close-up
Today's photo prompt is close-up. Now I did ask the lovely Wayne if I could do a close-up shot however he was less than willing to be my muse for today. I also considered a self portrait but got a dose of the giggles as I immediately thought of Gloria Swanson's immortal line from the film Sunset Boulevard, "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up!". But alas, I'm no Gloria Swanson (or William Holden for that matter) so thought it best to find another subject.
As I'd left today's photo until late this evening, I wandered around our home looking for something suitable for a close-up shot. I know the suspense must be killing you dear reader, but you can draw breath as I found a suitable subject. Anyhoo, I now present to you (insert dramatic drum roll) a close-up photo of a wonderful painting we have in our dining room that was painted by a very dear friend.
I love this photo as it shows all the colours and brush-strokes and even the grain of the canvas. My close-up turned out better than expected and as an added bonus, no actresses were harmed during the process!
