Making ground

Managed a few hours in the studio and got stuck into one of new Conversation pictures. Setting a ground is tricky and I’m thinking this time around to try and get it right from the start…although, of course, its fairly obvious that what goes on either side has a profound effect on the expanse of space between. A cynic might say…just like any other picture then!
