Compositional Study for 'The Hour Glass'
Evelyn De Morgan
Here Jane Morris poses for De Morgan's oil painting, The Hour Glass, conceived as a pictorial 'echo' of Beethoven's 'Waldstein' Sonata, which ends on 'a sudden voice of triumph'. It is a meditation on mortality which in De Morgan's spiritualist philiosophy was the gateway to a finer life.
Aged sixty-five, Jane Morris was an apt model for the figure. She shared her love of music with the De Morgans, who were 'dear old friends'. The tapestry sketched in the background evokes those at Kelmscott Manor, although is not copied from them.

I've been trying to pay particular attention to composition lately because some shots have felt "off". Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
For this one, does the table take too much foreground? I took another angle that shows the open space to the living room, but does this work on its own as far as comp is concerned?
For the photo itself, I did blow out that light a little too much and I have a flash reflection in the photo.
Lighting: Single exposure.
- 1 handheld bounced into ceiling
- 1 on floor bounced into wall behind me for fill on table
- 1 in living bounced off ceiling.

These are some older photos I thought I would share. I made the clothes on the Tonner dolls. When I was doing a lot of sewing and knitting for dolls, I would record the outfits in a composition book. It was my first visual journaling.
