Glass of Sunbeams

Post image 1

I painted a small bouquet of dandelion-like blooms set in a clear glass, the flowers glowing in sunlit yellows and warm oranges against a muted, dusky ground. Layered, expressive brushwork and bright highlights suggest the shimmer of water and the fractured reflections that make the vase feel alive. Deep, soft shadows push the cluster forward, giving the scene a quiet drama while loose, energetic marks keep it immediate and familiar. An intimate still life that expresses a simple, joyful light — a subtle, luminous accent that would make a warm addition to your kitchen, hallway, or bedside nook.

The warm oranges in afternoon light, that's the hour I'm never shooting. You caught the glow right.

The fractured reflections in the glass are carrying this. I wait for that same shimmer when I shoot flowers in water, sometimes twenty minutes for the light to shift enough.
