dappled light




I spent the morning in the back garden with a fairly large canvas and my paints, thoroughly enjoying myself. I thought to share some progress shots, but as I was under a tree the photos have dappled light coming through from above. I kind of liked it and almost wished I could add them on to the painting.

This is for a friend who commissioned it saying, "Just go out and create whatever comes to you! Sky's the limit! No rules. But blue did look good in my living room." :) I liked her direction ~ freeing but with one guiding suggestion.

The canvas was too big for me to get the whole thing in one photo. When it's fully finished, I'll try again and share the whole image with you (perhaps without the dappled light next time).

The sunshine's giving it illuminating spots; romantic somehow.
From this side of things, it looks beautiful.

Keep it up Kimi!

years ago, I did a painting (also blue!) outside in the courtyard of my art school. I also noticed how much I liked the effect of the light "dots" on the canvas. I played with those areas of lights, and painted where they fell on the canvas. it was a neat effect. Glad you are enjoying it!!! xo

Thank you for the encouraging feedback, girls! I hope to have another session with this canvas next weekend to continue my adventure. Trina ~ what a coincidence with our blue, dappled light paintings. Maybe I shall decide to add those lights in with paint on this one...
