"Lemons and Glass Creamer" A still life painting
I love light…
the way it cascades and dances across the forms it encounters – almost flowing like water over the surfaces…
its strength and subtlety…
its commanding presence and faint suggestion…
the way it explodes with vibrant color in the midday sun and fades into the slightest glow as it slips into shadow…
I never get tired of observing it, studying it, trying to understand the effects it creates.
In a way, that’s all that happens at the easel – trying to see the light clearly, and finding a way to translate it into paint.
This painting is a meditation on the beautiful simplicity of light, flowing and gently bursting into a glittering web of highlights and unexpected reflections.
