I remember someone saying that after you have a painting on the wall for two months, you don’t see it anymore, and to a certain extent that is true. Your eyes get used to seeing it there, and so you no longer take notice of it.
As you might expect, I have a lot of my paintings hanging on the walls, which I guess I normally don’t pay any attention to, but ever once and a while, sunshine and shade from outside will filter through the windows which give the paintings a whole new feel.
Some of the areas and colors are highlighted, while in other places the colors are darkened. They often give the painting a whole new power and intensity. I love seeing what that sunshine and shade do to the paintings, and sometimes wish I had painted them with that extra contrast. Here are some examples of sun and shade on some of my paintings.
