In all these paintings, the main subject is LIGHT! Once there's light, there's bound to be shadows! I love highlights and shadows!
The effect they have in urban space and settings is what this retrospective series of 5 paintings (mainly of London) is all about.
Light has colour, it has atmosphere and it has a life of it's own! The ability to capture this remains the task and duty of the artist, whether he or she paints indoors or outdoors.
Paintings are powerful with light! Especially when the light is glorious!
Hope you enjoy!

"Don't invent little schemes whereby you can get ahead of nature, little schemes to make it look like nature.
You don't need to know how to do it, all you need is to do it. The things that count and make it look like out of doors are the big differences between the shadow and the light side"-Hawthorne on Painting
