So this painting abounds with imperfections, as is consistent with all my work. So this was kind of a study in shadow and light and perspective. I wanted to paint the candle/stand from a kind of close-up perspective in relation to the doorway/entry. I tried to tone down the brightness of light emerging from the adjacent room. I really enjoy experimenting with things I’m not very proficient at. I love learning how things work and how to create certain types of effects with a paint brush. Painting is so fascinating to me. There is so much to it, how could you ever suffer boredom as a painter? Creative block, lack of inspiration for sure but never boredom there is always something new to learn or new ways of growing and improving.
