Coconut Crab in ink

ballpoint pen original by Téa Yates

I put up this beautiful image, gifted to me by my daughter, on prominent display in my office. A sunwashed corner of a high-rise. Where I failed – I failed – was to understand that during my extended COVID induced absence from the office, the sunshine would wash this rich and wonderful drawing to a barely visible outline. I was on the verge of tears at what I had done (or failed to do). What you see above is a partial restoration courtesy of a high resolution scan and Adobe Lightroom. Still working on it.
