The light of now

Here's one of the observational light pieces. I wanted to open up that sweet painterly space where vision is sensitized and color glows in every corner. This piece is based on seeing and experiencing light changing and unfolding over time. I love walking and watching the light set in the Tucson sky. It changes from season to season and as cloud formations clutter the sky, or as I learned recently the alpenglow. I was also thinking about the delicate nature of life, the scrim of existence, or the lace of a beautiful fabric--those things that are momentarily here but quickly vanish. To literally paint those things is one thing, but to try and capture it with paint through experience is quite another thing.
