The Fan


Before living here I used to think of a fan as something used in a theatre production or perhaps bought in a fairground. In Menton it's quite usual to see women fanning themselves on a warm evening.

This lady is listening to an artist welcoming us to the vernissage of his exhibition at the Serre de la Madone.

I wouldn't mind her cheekbones!

    You are right, perfect cheekbones, perfect shape of the face!

  3. What I adore is the echoing curve of the neck and the shoulder, and the way you have captured the light in the small hairs on the back of her neck. Not bad. Not bad at all.

  6. I like the light as well in these photos of this very elegant woman. And I love how she has allowed her hair to go grey and it looks fantastic.

  7. I'm in the process of letting the fake color grow out and the authentic gray hair take over. Oh how I wish it to be as beautiful as this woman's! Isn't she just so lovely?
