When there is a striking interplay between light and shadow, I cannot help but be drawn to it.
This is exactly what I felt when I saw the sun’s rays casting shadows on the white wall and across the patio floor.

This is an alla prima painting, which means it was completed in a single session — something I am currently striving for.
To capture the subject with freshness and immediacy, I aim to finish each piece in just one sitting. This approach helps me avoid becoming overly concerned with details.

This oil painting is on a hardboard panel that I cut myself, as part of an effort to repurpose materials already available in my studio. That’s why the edges aren’t perfectly straight.
