Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow (A Special Card for Bobbie)

Posted on by

If I have the time I do like to give personalised birthday cards to loved ones. It will be our youngest daughter’s birthday on Wednesday so I have been busy this morning. Thanks to Holman Hunt (of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood) for his painting of a girl sketching – Bobbie is an accomplished and up and coming young artist (link attached) – and Photoshop I thought I had come up with an appropriate card for Bobbie.

“What do you think?” I asked Chris.

“It’s nice… but doesn’t it make her look a bit old?” my husband queried.

“Old? Really? Maybe it’s because you like long hair worn down,” I responded, a tad crestfallen myself.

“Oh, don’t change it. It’s probably just me…”

Half an hour or so later I had produced another version, this time depicting Bobbie’s own hair loose. I have a feeling that Chris may have been right. What do you think?
