The Echo

This is the painting called The Echo.This was my first completed painting since I became totally blind. It shows a room with a wide panoramic window, flanked either side by curtained walls. In the centre of the room, on a carpet, is the back view of a reclining nude, whose pose is echoed in the range of hills, seen beyond the window - or vice versa; hence the title. The colours are white walls and carpet. The curtains in which can be felt the folds of the material - are gold. The nude is flesh-toned.
