At last the first in a new sub-series from the Portuguese collection. These new paintings will explore the delicate shifts in light created by sunlight breaking through morning mist. Relying on photographs for the lens flare, these delicate light studies are achieve through thin glazes. Occasionally light coats are rubbed in with a finger to blur the edges when necessary. A hard painting to work but so far so good!
