Lately I've been working on painting the effects of bright sunlight on objects. With the sun coming in from a nearby window, the contrast between shadow and sunlight is intensified. Often I fret about the contrast and am tempted to tone it down, but if I leaveit alone, I'm usually happier with the results. This painting is 8x10 inches on a hardboard panel, and except for the challenge of photographing it, I'm happy.Technorati tags:

This painting is excellent! It shows real development in your work (and bravery on your part!) to paint so loosely, showing the choppy brushstrokes and heightening the color contrast. I can't wait to see more! Thanks for the good dose of inspiration.
Thanks Christine--I appreciate your kind words.
