Exercise in Skin Tones



I took this photo two years ago, on a summer day that was too hot for clothes or makeup. Just skin against skin. I love both mother's and baby's tones, each a different color of brown. My granddaughter is still so baby-smooth, she looks like a toy. The lattice fence is a perfect background.

This belongs to my back and white group of photos. It doesn't call for an embellished layout. I backed it with white mulberry paper and framed it with a white ribbon, trimmed with black stitches.
