About Treelight {komorebi} :
This series of studies and paintings was started as an exploration of the setting sun's effects on my hazy picture window one breezy July evening. It began as an attempt to capture the mood you might experience when silently observing light shining through the trees, while that light is also being cast upon you- the participating observer. I was entranced by rich golden spots of light dancing through the branches of trees, and playing upon the layer of film between the fixed window panes. I wanted to capture that feeling, the summer evening light, the vivid colors of the leaves illuminated and the dramatic contrast of branches silhouetted.
