Odd How Colors Play in Spring Time

The finished tetraptych does look bright when photo-shopped together:


(panels 10"x 30", acrylics)

But this is how it looks on the walls, with northern light the sole illumination in the room:


If the lamp between the chairs were lit, it would create even more of a glare in the photograph. Colors are still somewhat underplayed with help from natural lighting.

In the evening, after the sun has retired from its day duty, the colors on the panels are still somewhat subdued.  I like how the cottonwood trees living in the background of the glass mimic the painted tree branches with differing background colors.

"Spring" from Camille Gotera:
When the cold, harsh winter has given its last breath,
When the sky above shows life instead of death,
When the claws, reaching to the frozen sky becomes decorated with
leaves,
When the animals-long in hiding- scurry from trees,
We know winter has ended.

  1. Your panels are beautiful Nancy and I love the way the real trees echo the painted ones. It's always surprising the way different light affects colours - it will be interesting to see what happens as the year (and the light) progresses and strengthens. Have a lovely Springy weekend! E xx

  2. It's interesting to me how they're all hung separately. What great pride and self- satisfaction you must feel when you are your artwork around your home.

  8. Very interesting and clever idea. I love how they could all be hung directly next to each other and complete one image. Or you could hang them like you did between the windows. Nice work.

  9. I love the paintings for your room, rather than accept something you could purchase. The light is wonderful coming in those windows. Are you in Canada? Your poem is beautiful. Welcome back to PPF. Blessings, Janet PPF
