The Sources




It's winter now. Today there was too much to do so unfortunately no painting time. Instead I will cheat and offer a summertime view. This is a motif from Cap Code, the same one I'm painting in the photo on the right. It's a motif that has called to me over and over with it's constantly changing play of light in the sky and water. I crave to burn the sun into paintings but they have to live their own lives separate from the real glories of the world. It's the difference between the range of luminosities of about 12 for paints and perhaps several thousand in life. That is the challenge of painting light.
