Oh! - Me mid-morning!

Lovely colours and shapes.

She seems to be in the ante-room of an art gallery waiting for the exhibition to begin and her bench doesn't seem quite wide enough to be comfortable.

It's interesting, I find the colours grabbed my eyes but the shapes are keeping them.

Absorbing picture.

Morning Lucy,
she didn't look very comfortable to me but you're right about the shapes she makes.
