View from the back seat of a car towards the front, seats and headrests framing the picture, of a 40-year-old woman stepping out of an oil painting hanging on a gallery wall. She has warm caramel-brown skin, broad shoulders and a solid frame, a diamond-shaped face with high cheekbones, hazel eyes, soft rounded eyebrows, straight salt-and-pepper hair pulled into a high ponytail at shoulder length. She is wincing with one eye shut and teeth clenched. She wears a champagne silk slip. Her left foot is still inside the canvas, where brush strokes are visible on her leg, while her right foot touches the gallery floor tiles. The edge of the canvas is visible where her leg exits. The 24mm wide-angle lens is up close, creating strong perspective that stretches the nearest parts. The main figure is off-centre on a third, the rest of the frame showing the gallery space. Low sun through venetian blinds casts stripes of light and shadow across everything. Shot on a 35mm film camera with grain, capturing the texture of the paint and the silk fabric with realistic depth.
