Bedside Light
6x6in oil on canvas board $100. SOLD
Day 14 in the 30 in 30 Days Challenge
My personal goal for this challenge - to paint only what I have
never painted or thought of painting before.
This is the lamp in our guest bedroom. It is brushed nickel.
with a simple shape that I fell in love with. Doesn't really fit
our casual decorating scheme, but what the heck!
Artist Note.
I had to examine the light glow very carefully. I was tempted
to take the downcast light right up to the shade, but looking
carefully I could see that there is an area of shadow on the wall
up above where the light starts to fall, and the rim of the shade.
Neat to paint and I recommend it.

I just love that you made a still life out of an everyday venue like that. Really lovely and some how a very intimate arrangement.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Libby. Thank you.
