I am thinking we should start calling our List Mom..."Leave it to Lisa".
Lisa challenges us to explore creative avenues that we may have not have discovered on our own. I know I would not have used the color orange with this photo...thanks Lisa..
I took this photo many years ago...of my grandaughter...she was quite a fashion diva and loved to pose for Grandma ( sometimes).. I am amazed by all the varied hues of orange and how these colors curiously spot-light the black and white photo. Adding this color prominently brought attention to those beautiful and inquisitive eyes.
