Today you will be writing about this image by artist Holly Andres. The photograph is from her body of work titled Stories From A Short Street. Here is the artist's project statement:
STORIES FROM A SHORT STREET is a collection of eight photographs inspired by my unique experience growing up in rural Montana as the youngest of ten children. By casting a fictitious group of siblings loosely based on archetypes of my own family, each image is constructed to enact a specific moment, communicate identity through space, and depict a psychological portrait.

This photograph is by Holly Andres. This is an image of a young girl; around 12 years old. She is laying on a bed that doesn't seem to have any sheets on them. Aside her is a calico cat. The cat is orange. The girl has religious pictures hung on her wall towards the right of the image. Her bed frame is an off white color and is sort of a vintage tone. Her room is very antique, like the image was taken a long time ago. Her wall has a wallpaper of pink flowers. Her curtains are also pink and sort of transparent. The time of the day seems like the morning because the light that is coming in on the left looks like an orangey color.

The photo is of a girl in her bedroom with her cat. It uses a lot of pinks and blues, i think they use these colors because of the style of a young girl and how she loves pink. The lighting is a little dark but light is coming out of the window so i think it's just about to be morning. There is one girl included into the photo but alongside of her she has a cat. There are some dolls and lamp to show the homeyness of the photo. She is looking off to the side, maybe thinking about her day. 10/6/2017 09:40:59 am
This photo shows a young girl idly lying in a bed alongside her cat. This room’s decor looks to be from another past time period. The colors are warm due to the sunset happening through the window. The lighting in this image is entirely provided by the sunlight. Objects included in this image are objects that one would commonly see in a child’s room. The bed, nightstand, lamp, photos on the wall, and the dolls are all present. The image features a girl and a cat lying next to each other. While the cat is sleeping, the girl seems to be staring off into space. The bed features no sheets, just a mattress and a pillow on what looks to be a thin and feeble frame.

In this image I see a girl laying on a green mattress. The walls have pink flowers on the and it contains a picture of Jesus and Mary on the wall. There is also a green nightstand next to the girl. On the nightstand their ae 2 dolls and a white lamp. Behind the nightstand their is a window with a pink curtain. The girl has blonde hair and is wearing a light blue nightgown. Next to her is a cat. She looks to be daydreaming or thinking about something. She doesn't look too happy either. It looks as if the sun is rising looking at the sun coming from the window.

This image is of a young girl laying on her bed and staring up at the ceiling or wall with her cat asleep next to her. The main color being used is pink but the other colors in the image are are dark green color on the mattress, white on the backboard of the bed, and an orange light coming out from the window. The image is highly exposed on the left side because of the orange light coming from the window. The rest of the image is well exposed, with the darkest areas along the bottom and the top right corner. There is also a strip of light shining right down on the girl’s face and down her arm to the side of the mattress. I think that this girl is waking up in the morning and contemplating getting up and out of bed.

The image is a picture of a girl and her cat laying on her bed. For some reason there aren’t any sheets on the bed. I think the image is more bright than dark. The light coming from the window, and the pink wallpaper make the image seem bright. It is also somewhat dark too because there are lot of shadows on the walls.

This image was taken by Holly Andres. This photo is very interesting looking because it looks like an old painting. I think this is caused by the array of antique objects and the old-fashioned wallpaper. I see the girl laying in bed staring off into space and she seems like she has a lot on her mind and is upset about something. The image is using warm colors such as the pink on the walls and the orange coming from the sun outside, and then contrasting the warm with a cool blue bed. The quality of this image is very impressive and clear. The objects in this image include various antiquities, a cat, a girl, a bed, and some classical curtains and wallpaper.

This is an image of a girl and a cat lying on her bed. The colors being used in this photo are whites, pinks, yellows and blues. Most of the light in the photo seems to be coming through the window indicating that it is early in the morning. Besides the girl and the cat, there are two dolls on her nightstand in dresses. There are also two photos on the wall that appear to be of some spiritual woman. There is not much happening in this image because the subjects are lying still. The only hint of previous action is the open nightstand drawer.

This is an image done by Holly Andres. The photo pictures a small girl laying on a bed next to her cat. The room does not appear to be very modern and looks like it might be set to look like it was taken back in the 20th century. The little girl is wearing a sort of gown and is laying on the bed peacefully. She has a look on her face that looks as if she might be thinking or contemplating. She looking almost in a trance. She could have been looking out a window or maybe trying to fall asleep. One thing that I notice about the bed she is laying on is that it does not have any sheets. No blankets or sheets on the bed, only a bare mattress. She is laying next to cat who might is also laying peacefully, but asleep.

The image is of a young girl, lying in bed, next to a cat. The bedroom she is in has wall paper with pink flowers. The mattress, and nightstand with the lamp on it seem very worn down. The image is furniture and wall paper in the image are worn down and it is intentionally made to seem old. In the image, the window on the side of her room, has no view and is blocked out by plants and vegetation, as well as a yellow light that shines through the window.

This photo includes a girl in her bedroom on a blue bed with an orange and white cat on it. The vast majority of the background is the pink wallpaper and matching curtains by the window with it. Outside the window, there are plants that go above the top of the window from beneath it. There is also a blue nightstand with two dolls and a lamp on it. There are two photos of Jesus and Mary in the back, on the girl's bed. The image appears to be taken around sunrise or sunset, as there is a yellowish light coming in from the window illuminating the bedroom.
