Lighting

I spend a lot of time thinking about light.
I need to. 
Whether it is taking photographs of artwork or trying to get the right colours on my palette, it's an important element.

I have here my latest commission.

I took this photo next to a patio door.


This photo is in the kitchen very close by but I was able to keep the shine off.
Both were taken in a well lit (natural light) room.


In my studio the lights run warmer and I have small windows letting in very little light.


I have to be careful that cool white bright lights change the colours too much. 
The painting almost looks blue.

So which colour is right?
Technically they all are and none of them.

Photo number 2 is the closest to what the painting would look like in regular lighting.

Spring Rhythm

This is another one of my faves! It's a softer Spring piece but there is something almost musical about the flow throughout. The yellow flowers were trimmed from my rosebush out in the front yard. The rest of the arrangement came from Creekview Floral, who do amazing bouquets and arrangements.  "Spring Rhythm" 12 x 16 oil on canvas This one needs a new home!

Iris (19-14)

Another iris for the collection. This is a part of the spring collection that I am working on. I kept the background simple so the focus was on the main attraction, the bloom. The purple is a deep variation of colour and the top of the bloom is a gauzy white.  This artwork could work in any room. It's small size allows for it to be a part of a larger compilation or in smaller spaces such as hallways, kitchen, or bathrooms. Iris (19-14) 6" by 6" oil on canvas board Click to buy with Paypal
