Pillows ll

12" x 12" Oil


This was the culmination of observing this
interior corner every day. Around 1 o'clock the day
before I first noticed the mullein shadows
coming in when the sun was low enough.
I loved the shadows going across the pillows.
So I resigned I would capture them, but
I had to wait until one o'clock, and reduce the size
of my canvas in the series from 24" x 24" to 12" x 12"
due to the speed required to capture the movement across
the pillows. It was a lucky transition for me, to work
on this series of five paintings- one a day, because
it started off dark and rainy, and lightened up
everyday until there was brilliant light coming in.

The bottom photo is the porch on the other side
of the pillows as it approached dusk.
