Detail from The Horseshoe by Paul Noonan  

The Horseshoe
1998         by Paul Noonan

Detail

Graphite pencil on card

Not since the Jean Harlow picture had I had to draw such blond hair. It does stand out. Another aspect of the picture that works for me is the contrast in dresses between the two characters. The chequered pattern of the dress of the little girl juxtaposes well with the white of the bride.
