The Teacher


The Teacher

A friend and I were taking pictures in Castroville, Tx last spring. The teacher is Bonnie White and she is helping her twin sister with a painting problem. Bonnie and I were is a class together some years ago and we both happen to be in Castroville that Saturday, me taking pictures and she painting with her sister.  We were both surprised.  
Bluebonnets are everywhere in Texas in the spring but in this town they have planted Poppies for the tourists.
I wanted to lead in with the flowers to the center of interest, Bonnie and her sister and underplay the background. The flowers on the horizontal line are lighter and bluer to take the eye back and the curved clump of trees mimic the curve of her back.
