On a Sunday afternoon the light was streaming in through a crack of the curtains. The streaming light was a bright contrast to the dark bedroom. I was inspired to capture the natural, ordinary beauty of light. Our hands are amazingly complex and invaluable to us. Illuminating my hand with the bright light of the bedroom released the magical glow. These ordinary things are beautiful and worth celebrating. "Light" is an 8x10" oil painting on un-stretched canvas.
